Area residents are invited to Humility of Mary Health Partners’ annual Festival of Trees from Friday through Dec. 7.
A total of 86 trees decorated by hospital staff will be available for raffle at the health-care region’s three acute-care hospitals: St. Elizabeth Health Center, 1044 Belmont Ave., Youngstown; St. Joseph Health Center, 667 Eastland Ave. SE, Warren; and St. Elizabeth Boardman Health Center, 8401 Market St.
Hours to view the trees and enter your tickets are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and 7 a.m. to noon Dec. 7.
Tickets are $1 each or six for $5. Winning tickets will be drawn at noon Dec. 7. Winners need not be present to win. Tree pickup is 2 to 5 p.m. Dec. 7.
Proceeds from the St. Elizabeth event go to the REACH Fund, which helps employees when facing a crisis; from St. Joseph, to the St. Joseph Mission Fund; and from St. Elizabeth Boardman, to a mission closet for patients and families who may need clothing or other supplies while at the hospital and to the Helping Hands of Boardman Fund.
St. Elizabeth Boardman also has area businesses sponsoring trees, including Holiday Inn Boardman, Woodlands Assisted Living, Austinwoods/Hampton Woods, Beeghly Oaks/Pembrooke, Boardman Printing, Greenbriar Continuum, Caprice Health Care Center and Covelli Enterprises.
