Hospital plans 'Pack the Back' food drive

Area residents are being challenged to fill this ambulance with food for local food banks.

As part of "Hospital Week" activities, Elmore Medical Center employees will hold a "Pack the Back" food drive to support the local food pantry.

The goal is to fill the back of an Elmore Ambulance Service (EAS) ambulance with non-perishable food and personal care products.

"The idea for a food drive came from our employees" explained Doreen Krabbenhoft, EMC Development Director. "They wanted to do something for the community during our Hospital Week celebration." Hospital Week, set for the second full week in May annually, recognizes hospital employees.
