During National Nutrition Month, aside from offering healthy cafeteria options and encouraging staff to adopt healthy food and lifestyle choices, PAH’s Food & Nutrition teamed up with the Emergency Food Pantry at PAH’s Hall-Mercer Community Behavioral Health Center to stage a food drive.
Ultimately, a whopping 450 pounds of food was collected and donated by PAH staff members!
“People are hungry all year, not just during the holiday season when ‘giving back,’ is at the top of mind,” said Carolyn Tobin, director of Food & Nutrition and Environmental Services. “The patients of Hall-Mercer and their families often need extra support, and I’m hopeful that this successful food drive will make a difference.”
