Lieutenant Governor’s wife Margaret Keene-Villagomez is stirring the holiday spirit by encouraging community members to consider the needs of others during the approaching holiday season.

“While we celebrate the holidays, we remember that others who are sick, needy, or separated from loved ones are in most need of our care,” said Villagomez. “Whether it’s a gift of food, money, or time, we can all afford to give something to help others in our community.”

Patients of the Commonwealth Health Center are expected to receive an early holiday treat this month, as Keene-Villagomez prepares to deliver food baskets in celebration of Thanksgiving. The baskets, comprised of fresh fruit and sweets, will be personally delivered to patients by Keene-Villagomez a few days before Thanksgiving.

“This visit is intended to lift the spirits of patients and their families and to give them hope during the holiday season,” said Keene-Villagomez. “Despite our economic situation, I encourage each member of our community to embrace a spirit of giving this holiday season. After all, the spirit of Christmas is held in the heart, not wrapped in paper.”

Villagomez is also expected to deliver baskets to the Commonwealth Guidance Center and the CHC Tinian and Rota guest houses. [B][I](PR)[/I][/B]
