Altrusa International of Hermiston members donated toys today for the Hermiston Police Department's Christmas Express. Now in its 56th year, Christmas Express provides food and toys for families needing assistance in Hermiston. Hermiston Altrusans once again stepped up to help.

During a recent meeting, Altrusans held a held a baby shower supporting

Hermiston’s Doulas Latinas and presented them with a large collection of baby items for its clients.

More bags, stat!

Hermiston Altrusans Ann Fialka, Robin Surber and Patty Nance were among those who gathered after a recent meeting to prepare kits for young children visiting Good Shepherd Hospital’s emergency room. Each kit contains toys, snacks, a book, and more all in a clear gallon-size bag. The ER staff lets the club know when inventory is running low so Altrusans can spring into action and create more.
