From all the doctors, nurses, administrators, and staff at Civista, we wish you the very happiest of holidays. In this holiday season, it’s important that we take time to remember others who are less fortunate, and this year Civista is proud to announce that our employees are helping bring happiness and joy to needy community children with the Christmas Connection Toy Drive for Charles County.

Christmas Connection is the largest Christmas program in Charles County, providing food and gifts for Charles County’s disadvantaged families through donated funds, goods, and services. Approximately 3,000 children receive their Christmas toys, gifts, clothes, and food through this program every year. Civista employees collected over $685 to purchase toys and gifts to help needy families in our community who otherwise might not have much—or anything—for Christmas.

Even at this late hour, the program still needs financial donations, toy donations, and volunteers to help with distribution. Please call Christmas Connection at (301) 645-1561 for more information on how to help those in need in our community this holiday season.

Again, from all of us at Civista, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season.
