Hilton Garden Inn Distributes Goodie Bags to Healthcare Heroes
/On February 12, just in time for Valentine’s Day, Hilton Garden Inn Director of Sales Barbara Walker and her team distributed goodie bags to nurses deployed to Texarkana to assist during the pandemic. Since these nurses work six days a week, 12-hour shifts, and have not seen their families in months, Barbara wanted to let them know that their efforts are truly appreciated. She began by reaching out to local businesses in the hopes that they would help her gather supplies, and in true Texarkana fashion, they did not disappoint. In less than a week, her office was overloaded with items such as assorted snacks, socks, lotion, lip balm, gift cards, pens, assorted drinks, water bottles, candy, eyeglass cleaning wipes, etc. Barbara and her team completed filling bags in approximately two hours, and then began distributing the care packages. She is very grateful to American Sign & Banners, Big Jake’s BBQ, Farmers Bank & Trust, Fat Jack’s, Ledwell, Retreat Health Care, Rowe Casa, Signature ER, Texarkana Chamber of Commerce, Texarkana Emergency Center, Twisted Fork, and Wholesale Electric, for helping her gather essentials for our healthcare heroes.
