Southern Maine Health Care donated $3,315 to the York County Shelter Programs' Thanksgiving Meal Program which provides 165 families in need with a Thanksgiving meal.
Funds are raised through SMHC's annual 'Turkey Buck$' program which encourages staff and physicians to donate any amount toward the cause. SMHC staff also volunteer to package the dinners for families in need.
"York County Shelter Programs is grateful for the kindness and the spirit of giving shown by the staff and leadership of SMHC," said Bob Dawber, YCSP Executive Director & CEO. "The generosity of this donation has had an immediate impact on the work we do to support our neighbors in need. We could not be more thrilled."
The York County Shelter Programs provides about 1,500 turkey meals over the holiday season.
