The concept is simple, take what you need and give if you can. The food donation boxes are located outside the Emergency Room entrance of Meritus Medical Center.
Ensuring that our community is nurtured from the inside out is important to us. We welcome anyone to take any of the items in the donation boxes that they need for themselves or their families.
