Description

 

Emerald Coast Hospice’s Marianna Office Launches Food Drive
to Benefit Chipola Family Ministries
 
Marianna ,FL July, 15, 2010 — Staff members from the Emerald Coast Hospice office here will be blanketing Jackson, Calhoun, Holmes and Washington counties Aug. 1-31,  distributing food collection bags and gathering donations for Chipola Family Ministries  as part of the Company’s 6th Annual Food Drive.
Emerald Coast Hospice employees at the Marianna office and their counterparts around the country are placing the food collection bags at various locations in their respective communities and will collect their “harvest” during the entire month of August. They are focused on beating last year’s national record, when the company’s 5th Annual Food Drive yielded more than 94,000 pounds of goods for donation to charitable organizations across the country.
“As active members of the community, we know that food banks, pantries and other charitable organizations face rising demand and a chronic lack of necessary supplies due to the economy and global food shortages,” said Ronni Bowen RN, Marianna Account Executive. “We also know that proper nutrition is important for the well-being of the people that we serve. In these especially hard economic times, more people are at risk for poor nutrition and hunger. We look forward to working with many area health organizations, and we encourage local healthcare providers to contact us for more information on how they and their employees can participate in this community effort.”
Emerald Coast Hospice provides home hospice services to patients in the areas of Jackson, Calhoun, Holmes and Washington counties. Its Marianna office is owned and operated by Gentiva Health Services, Inc., one of the nation’s largest providers of high-quality, comprehensive home health, hospice and related services. Emerald Coast Hospice’s offices are staffed by area professionals familiar with the health needs of community residents. At the same time, Gentiva’s national scope allows it to bring substantial resources to its local offices that other companies often cannot provide.
