Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital is hosting a back-to-school food drive to benefit the Food For Preston Backpack Program.
School counselors and staff enroll students into the program based upon need to maintain confidentiality. The program currently serves over 400 Preston County students each week, distributing over 19,000 bags of food throughout the year.
Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital is now collecting donations through September 6. Items needed include granola bars, breakfast cereal bars, mini cereal boxes, tuna and cracker packs, chicken and cracker packs, cheese and cracker packs, peanut butter and cracker packs, canned ravioli, spaghetti, beefaroni, lasagna, or beef stew, pretzels, raisins, fruit cups, applesauce, pudding cups, trail mix, sunflower seeds, animal crackers, and graham crackers.
Donations can be dropped off at Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital, any Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital Primary Care location, Mon Health Preston Urgent Care, and Mon Health Preston Physical Therapy & Fitness Center in Bruceton.
“We are proud to play a role in supporting the needs of our community through this collaboration with Food For Preston,” said Melissa Lockwood, Chief Administrative Officer of Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital. “We encourage those who are able to donate and join us in making an impact in the lives of students across Preston County.”
