(RICHMOND HILL, Ga.) Richmond Hill Pharmacy and Richmond Hill Presbyterian Youth Association make donations to MedBANK.

(RICHMOND HILL, Ga.) Richmond Hill Pharmacy matched the amount raised by the Richmond Hill Presbyterian Youth Association car wash at the annual Fall Festival and Health Fair and donated the proceeds to MedBANK.

Members of the Richmond Hill Presbyterian Youth Association raised $204 during its Oct. 28 car wash. Richmond Hill Pharmacy owner Al Dixon matched that amount in the donation to MedBANK.

MedBANK Foundation is a non-profit, volunteer organization that assists the uninsured in obtaining prescription medications free of charge from pharmaceutical companies. MedBANK serves citizens of Chatham, Bryan and Effingham Counties.

“MedBANK performs a wonderful service by helping the needy find access to prescriptions,” Dixon said. “It's important for us that people are able to have access to improve or maintain their health. That's what we're all about.”

The Fall Festival and Health Fair offered flu shots, cholesterol checks, bone density tests and pneumonia shots at reduced rates. Local businesses provided information to help parents keep families safe and healthy.
