Today is Giving Tuesday! Give the gift of health by making a donation to FIGS of Wake County. Over 70,000 Wake County residents live without health insurance. For every dollar donated, 94 cents goes directly to our clients for the funding of prescription, over the counter medication, or medical supplies.
