Last week, Family Dollar conducted a “balloon drive” in observance of the Valentine’s Day holiday. Mary Teichman, store manager, thought of the idea of encouraging the community to purchase balloons to send to elderly residents of Lexington. Over 100 balloons were purchased. Eighty-four balloons were delivered to the residents of Riverbend Heights Health & Rehabilitation and three balloons were sent to the residents of Bristol Manor in Lexington. The remainder of the balloons were given to the Margaret Gray Center to distribute by volunteers who deliver meals. The Family Dollar team expressed appreciation for the tremendous support given by the community. Pictured (L to R) are: John Savala, Teichman and Mandy Pitt.
