ABILENE -- In the spirit of giving, the employees of Memorial Health System (MHS) recently contributed Jeans Day funds collected to help those who are behind on their water bills.
Employees who made a donation of at least $5 were allowed to wear blue jeans on Dec. 18. Employees could also wear an ugly Christmas sweater or a Christmas themed shirt if they chose.
A total donation of $206 was presented to the City of Abilene to go towards resident city water bills that are behind.
The day was organized by the MHS Employer of Choice (EOC) committee. MHS employees also gave to this cause in September of this year, but the EOC committee again chose to help those who are behind on their city water bill.
