Thanks to our donors, The Health Foundation, Inc. is able to support vital community programs. A grant to the Millers Creek Fire Department replaced their old emergency medical bags with newer, lighter weight equipment. And a grant to Wilkes Fresh, a program of Wilkes Recovery Revolution, will help keep the veggie van on the road!
