Westwood Commons raised over $350 for the Chili Volunteer Ambulance Service thanks to the support of friends and family. About 50 residents and staff participated in the sixth annual walk.
“The ambulance is always here for our community when we are in need and this is our way of saying thank you for what a great job they do,” said Activities Director Cathy Toney.
Chief of Operations for Chili Volunteer Ambulance Service Bill Arnold accepted a check from Westwood Commons’ residents Catherine Hutchins and Mary McDonnell. Arnold said at times like these, every dollar adds up.
“Most of those community donations go into our specialized equipment fund to purchase equipment we would otherwise have to budget for,” said Arnold.
Past recipients of Westwood Commons’ charity walks have included the Aurora House, the Chili Fire Department, the Al Sigl Center, the Chili Rotary Club’s wheelchair fund, and a local food shelf.
