Silver Cross Hospital Volunteers Honored for Service

Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox recently honored its volunteers at the hospital’s annual recognition luncheon held at the Bolingbrook Golf Club in Bolingbrook. With four volunteer organizations: Advisory Board (Encore Resale Shop), Childerguild (Gift Shop) and The Will County Union of King’s Daughters and Sons (founders of Silver Cross) and Inservice volunteers, nearly 700 area residents donate their time and talents to raise funds for the hospital and assist in daily operations.
