Kinney Drugs Foundation Supports Home Share
The Kinney Drugs Foundation, whose mission is “to help people live healthier lives within the communities that are served by Kinney Drugs”, has donated $1,000 to Home Share of Central Vermont (HSCVT). In the HSCVT service area, Kinney Drugs has three stores: on the Barre-Montpelier Road, in Morrisville, and in Randolph.
Home sharing is daily preventative medicine, because people in home shares eat better; stay more engaged in the world around them, which slows the aging process; have improved mental health through decreased loneliness and increased socializing; and have fewer phyiscal disabilities from depression and stress. Home sharing also provides emotional and physical relief for extended families, reducing their stress and accompanying health risks.
In a letter to Foundation Administrator Stacy Spaziani, HSCVT Director Betsy Reid noted that the Kinney foundation’s donation will help HSCVT ”meet greater demands on our program, due in part to rising fuel costs.” Reid thanked the foundation ”for making philanthropy a hallmark of your business.”
Reid also praised local Kinney Drugs representatives Bernie Alden (Morrisville store) and Norm Robinson (Barre-Montpelier Road) . “Each of them took the time to meet with me. I am grateful that you have managers who serve their community so thoughtfully.”
The Kinney Drugs Foundation, Inc., is a not-for-profit 402c organization formed by the Kinney Drugs Company and administered by volunteers. It is committed to help in support of quality health care throught Northern and Central New York and Vermont.
