Todd Wilcox, culinary manager of Olive Garden at 1918 Stadium Drive, Jonesboro, recently presented a check in the amount of $2,500 to Tammy Hawkins, director of St. Bernards Hospice. The gift represents an annual commitment that Olive Garden has made to help support the Flo and Phil Jones Hospice House at St. Bernards. The management team at Olive Garden selected the Hospice House at its local charity when the restaurant opened in Jonesboro in January of 2010. The recent check was the second one presented to the Hospice House. Olive Garden is a Fortune 500 company that employs more than 200,000 people nationally. The local restaurant employs 124. The Flo & Phil Jones Hospice House cares for patients from throughout Northeast Arkansas who do not have family members or other caregivers who can assist them in their own homes. The facility opened in the fall of 2009 as a freestanding hospice house and was constructed following a successful capital campaign that raised more than $5 million.
