Christmas Joy for Seniors!

(Honesdale, December 14, 2022)…Generosity for senior citizens was high again this year with many Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH) employees.

When WMH Social Services Manager Mary Burgio-Terpak, LCSW, put out the word asking for gifts for seniors, she said the response was “immediate and tremendous.” The senior gift program is coordinated between the Wayne County Area Agency on Aging and Burgio-Terpak’s department. This year the list included 48 senior citizens who asked mostly for general necessities, household items and pet food. Burgio-Terpak commented, “I get so many calls afterwards from seniors who are totally overwhelmed by our employees’ generous gifts!”
