Rhinelander Community Foundation Donates To Support Local Healthcare Workers

The Rhinelander Community Foundation (RCF) is donating $4,000 to the Helping Hands Program at the St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation in Rhinelander.  The initiative supports needs at the hospital and medical workers in times of crises.

“This grant is a message of thanks and appreciation for healthcare workers who are helping others during the pandemic,” said Janet Jamison, an RCF board member.

Jamison said the grant can help fund temporary housing arrangements and other expenses for healthcare workers.  A portion of the money will also be used to provide meals for healthcare staff.
