Virginia Gay Hospital and Clinics are stepping up to support our community members facing  food insecurity during the ongoing government shutdown. Food collection containers are  available in the hospital and clinic lobbies for those wishing to donate non-perishable items.  
Grocery gift cards are also welcome and can be left with registration staff. Donors are  encouraged to follow the suggested items list to ensure that all contributions meet the most  pressing needs.  
VGH continues to support families in need year-round through its  Feed America  program, which  provides food boxes upon request.  
¢â‚¬Å“We appreciate the efforts and concern shown by our staff and community for our neighbors and  friends during this difficult time, ¢â‚¬ � said Tina Eden. ¢â‚¬Å“Together, we can make a difference. ¢â‚¬ �  
For more information or questions about how to contribute, please contact Virginia Gay  Hospital.
