RINCON - The City of Rincon will be doing its part to make the holiday season special for residents of Georgia's hospitals serving persons with developmental disabilities and behavioral health needs.

For 58 years, cities across Georgia have brought the joy of the holiday season to patients at Georgia's regional behavioral health hospitals, many of who would not receive gifts or be recognized without the Mayors' Christmas Motorcade.  According to hospital staff, many of the patients at these hospitals have little, if any, support or contact with friends and family.Delete-Merge Upbodycopy

If you, your civic organization, business, church, school, or scout troop would like to participate in this outstanding holiday community project, the City of Rincon will be accepting items until Dec. 5 at Rincon City Hall, 302 S. Columbia Ave.  Donated items from the City will be delivered to Georgia Regional Hospital Savannah on December 6, 2017.
