Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital employees and volunteers donated more than 6,000 pounds of food to Humble Area Assistance Ministries (HAAM) during the hospital�s Second Annual Summer Food Drive for HAAM.
�There are so many youngsters in our area during the summer who are dependent on meals when they�re out of school and not getting a school meal,� said Millie Garrison, executive director of HAAM. �That�s why we�re so grateful to our Memorial Hermann Northeast friends for their generous contributions.�
In addition to donating food, Memorial Hermann Northeast employees donated $1,377 in cash to HAAM to purchase food at the Houston Food Bank.
Memorial Hermann Northeast�s Partners in Caring (PIC) team and the hospital�s Chaplaincy Program coordinated the drive. PIC team members Brittany Tinsley, Gwen Haws, Dawn Allen, Kimberly Stokes and Chaplain Andy Chao chaired the effort. Chick-fil-A Deerbrook Mall provided free coffee and sandwiches to employees.
The Memorial Hermann Northeast PIC Team also sponsors a Back to School Supply Drive for Humble ISD as well as a Fall Food Drive and Holiday Toy Drive, both for HAAM.
