SMYRNA, Del. — A small act of kindness can go a long way during the holidays. That’s the idea behind the Delaware Hospital for the Chronically Ill’s Adopt-A-Resident program, which is once again inviting members of the public to help brighten the season for residents at the Smyrna-based facility.
The annual program matches donors with residents who may otherwise go without holiday gifts. Participants can sponsor a wish list, donate general items, or contribute funds to help the hospital ensure that every resident receives something personal and meaningful this season.
Organized by DHCI’s Volunteer Services office, the program plays an important role in supporting individuals with long-term medical and care needs. For many residents, it offers a sense of connection and celebration at a time when that can matter most.

Those who wish to participate can contact program coordinator Tina Wagner at tina.wagner@delaware.gov or (302) 223-1011 to request a wish list. Unwrapped gifts should be delivered to the hospital’s Volunteer Services office at 100 Sunnyside Road in Smyrna. Drop-off hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
All donations must be received by December 12 to allow time for sorting and delivery.
Monetary donations are also welcome and may be sent by check, payable to DHCI with “Holiday Donation” in the memo line. General gift items will be used for residents who are not individually adopted and to support holiday gift bags throughout the year.
