WORTHINGTON — Residents of Worthington’s assisted living facilities got some special Christmas greetings this past week, thanks to a collaboration between a local bank and daycare providers.
Deliveries were made Friday afternoon to four Worthington locations, just a couple of weeks after an idea during a meeting at First State Bank Southwest sparked a full-fledged holiday effort.
