Successful Effort

Published on Wed, 02/10/2021 - 12:00am

With the theme “Bridging the Gap,” Collierstown Presbyterian Church’s “Souper Bowl of Caring” food drive netted a bridge full of donations Saturday. Twenty-five volunteers, including students from “The Pike” pandemic learning pod based at the church (pictured at right), collected the donations, which lined both sides of the bridge over Colliers Creek and later partially filled the church sanctuary. A total of $1,380 in monetary gifts was also collected and will be divided, along with the donated items, to support three local food pantries - RARA, Helping Hands of Fairfield Presbyterian, and the food pantry of the Gospel Way Church of God in Christ.

Tribute To Health Care Workers

Published on Wed, 02/10/2021 - 12:00am

As a tribute to the dedication of health care workers during the COVID- 19 pandemic, Lexington artist Barbara Crawford has created and donated an art installation, “The River,” which will be on display for about three months in the lobby of the University of Virginia Medical Center’s South Tower. The concept for the installation relates to the design of the hospital and its atrium. “A river, from its origins as tiny mountain streams joining others on their way to the ocean, embraces many varied aspects of our community,” she explained. “As with the UVA hospital, the atrium connects to different aspects of health and healing: the lab, surgery, ICU, OR, and emergency. While different, all are the same at heart.”
