Colleen Lapello of Palmer Rapids is crocheting in support of local healthcare. Throughout 2026, she will be donating 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of her blue and white crocheted angels toward the purchase of medical equipment at St. Francis Memorial Hospital. In addition to the angels, Colleen is selling a variety of other crocheted items, with a portion of the proceeds from each also being donated to the hospital. Her creations will be available for purchase at the hospital auxiliary gift shop. Thank you, Colleen, for your generous support of local healthcare!
