Support Our Community Food Drive
Last year, our amazing patients and staff raised 226 lbs of food for the Chester County Food Bank! We are confident that together we can pass that amount this year, and would greatly appreciate your help. From November 18th to December 20th, we will be accepting donations for the Chester County Food Bank at all 4 of our offices. We are excited to partner with such a dedicated organization in providing local families with food for the upcoming holidays, and we ask that you join us in donating.
If you would like to drop off food, regardless of if you have an appointment with us during this time, we will happily accept donations during our office hours. There will be a box at the front of our offices where you can place your items. If you want more information on what the most needed items are, please see below. Additionally, you can head over to the Chester County Food Bank’s website by clicking here if you would like to learn more about them. Thank you in advanced for your help!
