A GIFT OF ICE CREAM - an update

Picture

The McLean County Nursing Home residents love soft serve ice cream. They will be so happy if Santa brings them a soft serve machine they can enjoy all year.

The estimated cost for a new machine is $1500. [This amount does not include tax or the ice cream mix.]
​

The $1500 total has been raised!

Two very generous Elves gave $500 each for a total of $1000. The next $500 has been given in generosity by those listed below.​
Theresa Stevens, a local court reporter, has donated to provide the soft serve ice cream for her Aunt who currently resides in The McLean County Nursing Home. Her Aunt can only be visited once every two weeks and she LOVEs soft serve ice cream!
Rusty DePew, Joseph Dehn and their office staff-Jacki Smith decided to make a donation as they have had family and still have clients who reside at The McLean County Nursing Home.  


Thank you to all!
​

If you would like to make a contribution to the Ice Cream Machine fund, you are welcome to do so. The funds raised beyond the met goal of $1500 will be given to the home for the purchase of the machine, taxes and the ice cream mixes.

To make a donation - please follow the steps below:

Issue a check to: The McLean County Nursing Home
Mail the check to: 
MCBA, PO Box 3142, Bloomington, IL 61702
