When Drs. James Miller and William Joyce, Jr. suggested a community food drive, clinic staff jumped in to help organize it — and you can join us!

We’re collecting non-perishable food items and monetary donations to support the Community Food Pantry Of Butler and The Carpenters Cup.

With the current government shutdown creating hardship for many families, both the Food Pantry and the Carpenter’s Cup are uncertain how to plan ahead and are concerned about keeping their shelves stocked.

How to help:
- Donate non-perishable food items
- Make a monetary donation to Carpenter’s Cup (Make checks payable to Carpenter’s Cup. Give cash or check donations to Tricia Cook - High Street Clinic, Crystal Dizney - Nursery Street Clinic, or Carol Stroud - Surgical Clinic.)

Non-perishable items collected will be shared between the two organizations to help meet local needs. Every gift matters — even a few cans, a box of pasta, or a small donation can make a real difference. Thank you for helping support your community.

📍 Drop-off locations: High Street Family Care Clinic, Nursery Street Family Care Clinic, and Surgical Clinic
