Thanks to the generosity of individuals and organizations,
CenterWell this fall has collected food and financial donations
equivalent to 289,490 meals, according to Susan Benoit, president
of CenterWell Home Health. “We are humbled by the kindness of the
many people who gave this year,” Benoit said. “We finished nearly
40,000 meals ahead of last year. It’s so rewarding to be able to
make a difference in the lives of people in need.”
With more than 350 branches in 38 states, CenterWell Home Health
provides clinical care to help patients regain their confident,
independent selves. Whether managing a chronic condition or
recovering from illness, injury, surgery or hospitalization,
CenterWell’s nurses and therapists work together with patients,
their families and their health care providers to create a
personalized care plan.
This fall marked CenterWell’s 19th annual Food/Fund Drive,
conceived to help fight against food insecurity – a known social
factor that affects health – in the communities CenterWell Home
Health serves. Over the years, CenterWell Home Health (previously
known as the home health division of Kindred at Home) has collected
over 1.3 million meals.
Staff across the country were invited to participate in the 2023
drive, collecting a total of 139,400 meals to assist those in need.
The top team was the Portland, Maine branch, bringing in 21,261
meals. The Atlanta regional operations team finished a close second
with 21,250 meals, and the Wichita Falls, Texas branch chipped in
10,933 meals. The Humana Foundation contributed $15,000 in cash to
the campaign, or $5,000 for each of the top three finishers.
The contributions go to eligible 501(c)(3) organizations that
provide food to their respective communities. For example, in Fall
River, Mass., CenterWell staff delivered 20 bags of food to the
Veterans Association of Bristol County, which operates a food
pantry that supplies meals to local veterans. The Marianna, Fla.,
branch provided several carloads worth of food for Taylor County
residents impacted by Hurricane Idalia earlier this year. The team
in Buffalo Grove, Ill., collected more than 800 pounds of food and
$400 in cash to benefit two local food pantries.
