The Columbia-Montour Chapter was given the privilege to help the establish the Ruth Credit fund which helps provide funds for Ruth Credit and other needy people that need the care of the Columbia Montour Home Health and Hospice. There was a hoagie fund raiser to benefit the Ruth Credit fund, as well as a collection of items for Maria Hall which were donated by members of the Columbia-Montour Chapter at our annual picnic. Along with needy items, members donated gift cards which included gas cards and gift cards from various local stores. There gift cards were given to the Hospice Social Work Department to be given to people who needed extra items or gas.
