Holiday Gift Drive

Picture
Each December, NAMI Grand Rapids Area solicits donations for gift bags to be distributed to patients at the in-patient psychiatric unit at Fairview Range Medical Center in Hibbing.  This past year, we filled 34 gift bags with winter hats, gift cards, warm socks, toiletries, soaps, journals, puzzles, games, snacks, bookmarks, etc.  Each bag also had a personalized holiday card written by members of Kiesler Wellness Center.   In 2022 we provided bags to 34 patients at Fairview Range plus 6 bags to individuals at the New Leaf Healing Center, the local mental health crisis stabilization facility.  In addition, we supplied funds to North Homes Children and Family Services so that gifts could be purchased for 56 kids in residential treatment.
