YNHHS is holding its fifth online #GiveHealthy food drive March 1 - 31 to coincide with National Nutrition Month®.
Employees and medical staff are invited to visit https://ynhhs.org/givehealthy and support one or more hunger-relief organizations in the communities YNHHS serves. The health system’s first four drives collected over 72,320 pounds of food.
#GiveHealthy provides an online platform for hunger-relief organizations to set up “registries” listing items they need so you can choose the items you wish to purchase for a particular organization.
National Nutrition Month® focuses on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. Because the food donated through YNHHS’ #GiveHealthy drive will ship from suppliers directly to hunger-relief organizations, you will be able to purchase healthy food items, including fresh produce, to improve the health of our communities.
YNHHS’ drive was developed and organized through a collaboration among the Office of Health Equity and Community Impact, Community and Government Relations, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, Human Resources, Marketing and Communications, Northeast Medical Group, and Food and Nutrition. For more information, visit YNHHS’ GiveHealthy site or contact Augusta Mueller, augusta.mueller@ynhh.org or 203-688-3862.
