Infirmary ED Team Spreads Christmas Cheer to Family in Need

Members of the Emergency Department team at the Infirmary chose to participate in the Our House Adopt-A-Family.

Our House Adopt-A-Family pairs community members with homeless and near-homeless families who lack the resources to buy holiday gifts.

The ED team agreed to adopt a family of seven! Often larger families don’t get adopted, but the team was determined to change that!

Mandy Davis, CHI St. Vincent Director of Community Outreach, dropped off the gifts with Clayton Curole, Our House Volunteer Manager.

Since 1987, Our House has provided a pathway out of homelessness for families and individuals in Central Arkansas. The organization takes a two generation approach to help the whole family build skills, obtain resources, and ultimately the confidence to break the cycle of poverty. They have a Children’s Center Daycare, aftercare, and developmental programs available.
