The Martinsville Memorial Hospital has wrapped up an employee food drive, benefiting the Community Storehouse. "The hospital is big on community service; there's always an activity going on," said Christy Stutts, OR Director at the hospital.
The benefit began with a recent article printed in the Martinsville Bulletin featuring the needs of the Community Storehouse Food Pantry. Stutts took the idea for the food drive to a Director's meeting and from there, organized the event. "I'm so glad we could help," Stutts added.
Employees brought nonperishabe food, baby necessities, household needs and personal hygiene items to the hospital. Each unit collected the donations during lunch and at the conclusion of the event, donations numbered in the hundreds. Employees also collected money, amounting to over $600.
"It's amazing what's been accomplished in such a short time," said Travis Adkins, Assistant Executive Director of the Community Storehouse, who worked with Stutts in organizing the event. "We'd like to thank the Administration and all the employees of the hospital for this generous benefit, and especially Christy Stutts for her interest and work in organizing it," he added.
