Saturday, November 26, 2016 East Oregonian Page 13A Beginning on November 28 #GSGivesBack! We’re giving back to our community and we’d love your help. #GSGivesBack MONDAY NOVEMBER 28: Partridge in a Pear Tree TUESDAY NOVEMBER 29: Turtle Doves WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 30: French Hens Today calls for a partridge for your pear tree. Partridges are tough catches, you see. The bird flew the coop, leaving nothing behind but some sweet Bartlett pears, the very best kind. Please bring non- perishable food items today. There might be turtle doves coming your way; but we want to avoid hands as cold as clay. So instead of searching for turtle doves, we ask that you bring in some gloves (or mittens) today. Hens are chickens if they are French or not! What we need is chicken soup to heat in the pot or gas to go and shop. Please bring gift cards for food or gas today! THURSDAY DECEMBER 1: FRIDAY DECEMBER 2: SATURDAY DECEMBER 3: Calling Birds Golden Rings Geese a Laying Four calling birds speak highly of you; you’re kind and thoughtful, generous too. They sent us a letter, which said, “Children and seniors think more books would be better”. Please bring in books for all ages today. Although golden rings are nice, we would like to help the kids at iCan Bike. To refurbish a cycle, it takes many things, so please won’t you help us give them some wings. Please bring in items to refurbish bicycles and other biking supplies. Six geese a laying were an interesting sight, till one of them squawked and they all took to flight. When they left their nest, it was in the dark of night. So please help us with their terrible plight. Please bring in household and personal care items today. SUNDAY DECEMBER 4: MONDAY DECEMBER 5: TUESDAY DECEMBER 6: Swans a Swimming Maids a Milking Ladies Dancing Remember no speaking or you’ll spoil the fun. We’re almost there, we’re halfway done. Finding swans in December sure gave us a riddle, so we looked for something simple: Little bums can be breezy, but bringing diapers is just so easy. Please bring in packages of diapers today. On the eighth day of giving, we are still busy as bees. Eight maids a milking, nowhere did we see…But there at the Hermiston Warming Station we spy a few needs. Snacks, blankets, and hats, for these items they surely would be pleased. Please bring in non-perishables, portable food, blankets, and other warm items. Nine kiddos dancing, they put on quite a show. Their feet got so tired, so wouldn’t you know. We are requesting some socks or shoes to help comfort their little toes. WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 7: THURSDAY DECEMBER 8: FRIDAY DECEMBER 9: Lords a Leaping Ten lords a leaping would be an awesome gift, but they got stuck jumping over a big ole snowdrift. But, we do have some pets in need, at the local humane society. Please bring pet food or supplies today. Pipers Piping Eleven pipers piping outside would be cold, to leave them on the doorstep would be too bold. We are hoping you could be an angel for two more days, we’d just love to sing your praise. Please bring clothes and coats for individuals of all ages. Bring your donations to Good Shepherd Health Care System and place them under the Christmas Tree in the main lobby of the hospital or the Good Shepherd Medical Group lobby. You can bring any of the requested items on any of the above days, we’re just excited to have you give. Thank you for giving back to our community! #GSGivesBack For more information call 541.667.3502 Drummers Drumming The final day of giving has arrived, and on our ending night one dozen drummers would be a splendid sight. But drummers alas, are not what we require, instead we do plead - Durable Medical Equipment is what we need: crutches, walkers, or a noble steed.
