FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Odyssey Hospice Launches Food Drive to Benefit Snack Pak 4 Kids
Amarillo, TX July 30, 2012 — Staff members from Odyssey Hospice will be blanketing Amarillo and the surrounding areas throughout August, distributing food collection bags and gathering donations for Snack Pack for Kids as part of the company’s 8th Annual Food Drive.
As part of the Gentiva Health Services family of home health and hospice providers, employees at Odyssey Hospice and their fellow employees around the country are placing the food collection bags at various healthcare facilities, local businesses and churches in their respective communities and will collect their “harvest” during the entire month of August. They are focused on beating last year’s national record, when the company’s 7th Annual Food Drive yielded more than 382,702 pounds of goods for donation to charitable organizations across the country.
“As active members of the community, we know that food banks, pantries and other charitable organizations continue to face increasing demands due to our troubling economy,” said Brande Bigham, Community Liaison, Odyssey Hospice. “We look forward to working with many area health organizations, and we encourage local healthcare providers to contact us for more information on how they and their employees can participate in this community effort.”
Odyssey Hospice provides a full range of hospice services to patients in the Texas Panhandle.
Area residents, physicians and referral sources who want to learn more about Odyssey's superior hospice services should contact Brande Bigham at 806-626-8353. The Odyssey office is located at 6900 I-40 West #150.
