Chestertown, Md. – The Chester River Health Foundation sponsored its eighth annual Angel Tree on which “holiday wishes” were hung for children in the Kent and Queen Anne’s counties’ foster care programs and also for adults with disabilities who are served by the Kent Center. Some of the wishes were surprising again this year and included basic needs, such as clothes, winter coats and shoes. And of course, toys – lots of toys – were requested!
More than 60 brightly packaged holiday gifts were donated by the members of the Auxiliary and the staff of UM Shore Medical Center at Chestertown, UM Chester River Home Care and the Chester River Health Foundation.
