Patient Activities collecting 'boredom busters' Nov. 7-18

It's hard being hospitalized, but it’s even harder being hospitalized during the holidays. Patient Activities is holding a drive from Nov. 7-18 to collect supplies to help reduce boredom by providing a range of activities for patients.

Here is a list of items sought:

• colored pencils
• crayons
• markers
• pens
• pencil sharpeners
• adult coloring books
• puzzle books

Donations can be dropped off at the main entrance of J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital or at the Volunteer Services office located on the first floor of Ruby.
