Birmingham Energizers supply welcome baskets to families at Red Mountain Grace

By: Donna Cope

When someone has an extended hospital stay, the last thing on their family’s minds should be where to lay their head at night.

Enter Red Mountain Grace in Birmingham. During a loved one’s extended hospital stay – oftentimes among life’s most difficult moments – this nonprofit gives families a comfortable place to stay, near top medical facilities in the Magic City.

Members of the Birmingham Division Chapter of the Energizers stepped in last week to make life easier for incoming families to Red Mountain Grace, supplying 10 “welcome baskets” and six laundry baskets with detergent, fabric softener sheets, hand sanitizer and air freshener spray. The welcome baskets were chock-full with snacks, candy, shampoo, lotions, hand soaps, bath gels and socks, including crossword puzzles to keep families occupied in hospital waiting rooms. Energizers topped off welcome baskets with a Publix gift card to help families buy supplies during their away-from-home stay.
