Toys pour in for tots
Monongahela Valley Hospital’s Carroll Township campus and HealthPlex in Rostraver were collection sites for the Toys for Tots Campaign coordinated by the U.S. Marine Corps. Reserves and Mon Valley Leathernecks. On Dec. 14, Gerald Stasicha, vice president of the Monessen/Rostraver Rotary, delivered a car full of toys, games, trucks and dolls to the hospital donated by members of his club and the ladies of Spring Grove Estates in Rostraver. MVH Nurse Manager John Bogdan and storeroom manager Doug Prentice, who serve as the hospital’s Toys for Tots coordinators, accepted the donation. All of the toys contributed by MVH employees, physicians, volunteers and visitors along with those from the community groups will be packaged and delivered to the Mon Valley Leathernecks for distribution to local children in need this Christmas.
