CULLMAN, Ala. – Representatives from Cullman Lowe’s Home Improvement #313 provided complete Christmas meals to local families in need through their partnership with the Good Samaritan Health Clinic and their community partners on Wednesday, Dec. 21. The boxes included holiday hams, sides, all the fixings and desserts for 10 families. 

“This just means so much to us and to our patients at this time of year,” shared Good Samaritan Health Clinic Executive Director Jolanda Hutson. “Y’all just really do bring a lot of happiness to our patients. When we called the families to let them know about the donations, several were emotional because it means so much to them.” 

Brian Roberts, Jana Winfrey and Zach Lee, all longtime Lowe’s managers, took a break from the holiday retail frenzy of their store to deliver the Christmas dinners to the Good Samaritan Health Clinic where they were also met by Cullman County Center for the Developmentally Disabled (CCCDD) and Victim Services staff members. After the partnering agencies had their food boxes loaded in their vehicles, they were set to deliver the gracious gifts to their clients. 

“This is what the holidays are about. It’s not about commercialism,” Lee explained. “It’s about taking care of each other and giving back to our community however we can.”
