KINGFIELD – The staff of Mt. Abram Regional Health Center is grateful for the generous community support for its Thanksgiving Food Drive. The health center accepted just over $700 in donations, five large boxes of food, and two large boxes of fresh squash. This enabled the practice to donate nine Thanksgiving dinners to area residents.
The staff extends special thanks to Tranten’s Market for allowing food collection onsite and putting up the Thanksgiving dinners.
For many families and individuals in Franklin County, food insecurity is a harsh reality that must be faced 365 days a year. Any leftover money and food will help support the onsite food closet at the health center in 2019.
