Holiday Angels

Gift

This holiday season, OHCA employees have an opportunity to extend their generosity to families within the agency that are in need of assistance. Our Holiday Angels help provide gifts for children ages 0-17 for those families who are experiencing difficult times during the holiday season. If you're wishing to receive assistance, please fill out the application below.

Angel Application

All forms must be returned to Lisa Montgomery by 4 p.m., Friday, Dec. 2. All names remain confidential, and Lisa is the only person with access to personal information.

Check next week's In Focus for information on how you can become a Holiday Angel and help out fellow employees.


Pennies for a Pie

Penny

Penny Wars are in full swing! Cast your vote this week and remember: pennies equal points added, silver coins and dollars equal points taken away (10¢ = minus 10 points, $1.00 = minus 100 points, etc.). Jars are in the hall outside the gym. Whoever's jar adds up to the most points "wins" a pie at engage!
