📣 FITM's Medical Assisting 🩺Program in Danville is hosting a CLOTHING DRIVE for OSF Sacred Heart‼

Clean out those closets and drawers to support your community! Your contribution helps to aid patients who may have had traumatic emergencies during their hospital stay and are in need of clothing before returning home. Gently used 🧥Clothing Items 👕👖 can be dropped off NOW through Wednesday, MARCH 5th. (See below⬇)

As a part of the service project, our Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday cohorts are battling to see who can bring in the MOST donations. ➡Simply drop off on the class day for whichever cohort you wish to donate to. Better yet - split your donation and help BOTH groups meet their goals! 🏆💪

Please join us in supporting OSF Sacred Heart. 📞Contact 217.442.0296 ext. 107 with any questions.
