Canada Med Services to Host 'Bring a Lunch, Get a Lunch' Fundraiser

All Faiths Food Bank Benefits from Local Business’ Charity of Choice Program

SARASOTA, FL  (April 16, 2014) – Locally-owned discount prescription sourcing company, CMS, Canada Med Services and its subsidiary, Discount Prescription Services, are continuing their support of their Charity of Choice partners by hosting a Bring a Lunch, Get a Lunch food drive for All Faiths Food Bank. On April 22, 2014, between the hours of 9:00 AM to 5:00PM any customer or community member who drops of a food donation at Canada Meds Services headquarters, located at 4119 Bee Ridge Road will receive a brown bag lunch as well as a $25.00 gift certificate to be used towards a future order. To date, the Charity of Choice program has donated over $500 to the organization.

“The mission of our Charity of Choice program is to enable our customers in ways to give back to the community, that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to. By actively participating in a food drive for All Faiths Food Bank at our place of business, it allows for all of our customers who have designated All Faiths Food Bank as their ‘charities of choice’ to support them by directly donating non perishable items, as well,” said Dulcy Kushmore, President of Canada Med Services / Discount Prescription Services. “It is an honor to be representing all of our customers who have supported this organization. Having a physical presence and the ability to show our support in person to All Faiths Food Bank, is simply another way we can show our gratitude.”
