Mosaic Medical, bank collect donations for homeless
Many people in Central Oregon are living without a safe, stable place to call home and without access to basic health necessities.
In response to this need, Mosaic Medial and First Interstate Bank are partnering to host a donation drive from July 13 through August 13. Community members can participate by donating care kit supplies at any of the First Interstate Banks in Bend, Madras, Prineville and Redmond. Suggested items include travel size toiletries, tampons, socks, bottled water, hand warmers and/or non-perishable foods such as granola bars.
We are kicking off the month long drive by “Stuffing the Bus” at First Interstate Bank’s booth at Summer Fest in Downtown Bend. Following Summer Fest, donations can be dropped off at any First Interstate Bank Branch in the region.
“The Mobile Community Clinic has become a trusted partner within the homeless community. Individuals who receive care know that they will never be judged or turned away because of their life circumstances and that means the world to them”, says Kylan Pendleton, Mosaic Medical’s Mobile Community Clinic Manager.
