The McLeod Health Darlington staff has a long history of providing for others at Christmas. In December 1994, the first McLeod Darlington Elf Team made a difference for one family at Christmas. Fast forward 25 years later and the Elf Team continues to make a difference.

This year, the McLeod Darlington Elf Team chose as one of their projects to provide winter coats for Darlington County School students in need. A total of 78 coats were collected and donated to the Darlington Recreation Center which is handling the distribution.
