SIH Memorial Hospital staff makes its largest donation to Toys for Tots [Video]

CARBONDALE — Toys for Tots received a generous donation Monday from the staff and volunteers at SIH Memorial Hospital of Carbondale. Santa and his helpers from Toys for Tots will now have around 54 bikes and numerous other toys to deliver.

Donna Kattring, coordinator of Toys for Tots, looks at the donation from the staff and volunteers at SIH Memorial Hospital of Carbondale. 

Alicia Schimpf, a nurse leader at the hospital, said each year the staff donates baskets for a raffle. They sell tickets for about six weeks for the raffle. The money raised from ticket sales is used to buy toys for Toys for Tots.

“We raised $7,400. This year, what is so amazing is that people are way too generous,” Schimpf said.

Bikes were delivered to the homes of staff, and Schimpf and several others shopped for toys.
