PROJECT

Click on the Elf to adopt a resident or two.
|
This is the 6th year that the McLean County Bar Association has partnered with the McLean County Nursing Home to adopt residents. This nursing home facility is a high-Medicaid bed nursing home and most of the adopted residents have very low-income. In fact, most of the residents who receive the MCBA gifts might otherwise have no holiday gifts. The staff continues to share heart warming gratitude for all of the generosity given their way through the years! We were able to obtain the names of 50 residents along with their unique wish list for this Holiday Season.
