Employees from the hospital in Abilene are helping to support a Dickinson County program which works to end poverty and reduce trauma.

According to the hospital, employees of Memorial Health System wore blue jeans at work for another “Jeans Day” fundraiser on Fridays throughout the month of June. Employees make a donation, of at least $5, and are allowed to wear blue jeans at work.

A total donation of $440 was presented to Herington Hearts Core Community.

The Herington Hearts Core Community program offers support to individuals to help build financial, emotional, and social resources as well as economic stability.
