HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Even though Christmas is behind us this year, there's still time to give to the Remember Me Tree fundraiser for Hospice and Homecare of Reno County.

"We are wrapping up at the end of the year Dec. 31," said Stacy Goss with Hospice and Homecare of Reno County. "We will accept donations online. You can also stop by our offices."

There has been a lot of progress through the unseen hand of generosity the week of Christmas.

"We had some surprise donations come in," Goss said. "We had some large anonymous donations come in. We were very happy to see those. They put us well on our way towards our goal."

If you want to give in person, don't wait until the last day.

"We will be closed this Friday (Dec. 31) for the holiday," Goss said. "If you're an online person, I would strongly suggest that you do it online with a debit or credit card. That will be the fastest and easiest way and you don't have to add one more thing to your errands list for the day."

For those who gave too close to Christmas to get their Remember Me Tree ornaments, the additional shipment should be in Hutchinson in early January.
