Stella Wells Auction
Each year volunteers
work together to provide food and gifts for needy individuals in our community.
The program is named after Stella Wells. who first started delivering food to
families at Christmas. Approximately 15 years ago the Stella Wells Christmas
Auction was started to raise funds for the project. Since that first auction,
Parsons State Hospital and Training Center has decorated and donated a tree to
the auction. They have raised around $12,000 for the gift basket program.
Members of The Works
Board plan and decorate the tree each year. Members try and come up with a new
and fun theme. Residents working in different vocational enclaves make all the
ornaments.
Last years auction was
held Friday, December 7th at the Parsons Elks Lodge.
