Several blankets were donated from the Christian County 4H to Taylorville Memorial Foundation.  On December 7th and 9th, the 4H Youth Leadership Team hosted a Christian County Community Service Workshop ath the Christian County Extension Office. Fleece material was donated to make blankets and local youth participants came to the office to help make tie blankets and they were donated to the Taylorville Memorial Foundation.

These blankets will be given to patients throughout the hospital. Christian County Youth Development Program Coordinator Alexis McDowell says that the youth enjoyed making the blankets and the 4H hopes to provide comfort to many patients at the hospital.  The hope is to hold this workshop every year.
