When Bates County Memorial Hospital physicians Drs. James Miller and William Joyce, Jr. suggested a community food drive at a recent staff meeting, their colleagues immediately embraced the idea. Together, staff from the hospital’s Family Care Clinics and Surgical Clinic volunteered to coordinate the effort, making it easy for the community to give and support both the Food Pantry and Carpenter’s Cup.
With the current government shutdown creating hardship for many families, both organizations are uncertain how to plan ahead and are concerned about keeping their shelves stocked.
Community members can help by donating non-perishable food items for the Food Pantry or Carpenter’s Cup, or by making a monetary donation to Carpenter’s Cup.
Checks may be made payable to Carpenter’s Cup. Cash or check donations can be given to:
Tricia Cook, High Street Family Care Clinic (706 S. High Street, Butler)
Crystal Dizney, Nursery Street Family Care Clinic (617 W. Nursery Street, Butler)
Carol Stroud, Surgical Clinic (615 W. Nursery Street, 2nd floor, Butler)
