The Chisholm Trail Chapter hosted a holiday gift drive on Saturday, December 12, 2009 to support the service members stationed at Fort Hood. American Red Cross volunteers and supporters arrived with more than 100 gifts for infants, toddlers, school-aged children and teenagers. The group spent Saturday morning wrapping and preparing the gifts for children of Fort Hood families. American Red Cross longtime supporter TXU Energy also participated in the event by providing gift bags that included items such as fluorescent light bulbs, LED night lights, and energy conservation tips for the holiday season. “We were very pleased with the event and we now have more than 100 toys to deliver to families in Fort Hood,” said Chisholm Trail Chapter Chief Executive Officer Patricia R. Thomson, Ph.D. “We are so amazed by the amount of support we received from Chisholm Trail Chapter volunteers, donors and board members and we are thankful to them for making this event a success.”
