Jim Giroir seeks advice on last minute gifts as Santa. The piece, a Baytown Sun column by former editor Jim Finley, recalls surprising wife Margie with Christmas gifts and ends with a light nudge to readers about gift certificates.
A single mother of three, earning under 500 dollars monthly as a home upholstery seamstress, relies on the Goodfellows toy drive for Christmas gifts as her sporadic income covers only basic survival. With Section 8 securing housing, she notes faith and limited help sustain them while the drive provides essential gifts for her children aged 4 to 15.
Donors give amounts to the 75th annual Goodfellows drive raising funds toward a $30,000 goal. Local residents share gratitude for the program that helps families with housing and toys. The Baytown Sun invites contributions by mail to Goodfellows, P.O. Box 90, Baytown, TX 77522, or at its office on Memorial Drive.
Multiple health centers including Jacinto Medical Group, San Jacinto Medical Group Occupational Health, The Medicine Shoppe, and Harris County Hospital District operate flu shot clinics this season. Prices range from 5 to 31 dollars with various hours. Drive through and weekend slots noted. Call ahead for hours and eligibility.
