LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Mercy Health Lima is getting in on the school supply chain as they make a donation to the United Way of Greater Lima.
They presented a check for $2,000 toward the purchase of school supplies. Schools have been contacting the United Way and with this donation, each school can get the specific school supplies that their students need. Mercy Health was happy to help the area schools.
"One very important social determinate of health is education. As a leader in our community, Mercy Health really believes it's important to support education, therefore, making our community healthier as well," said Abe Frieson, community advocacy & diversity outreach at Mercy Health.
"Education, obviously, is one of our three impact areas so to merge with them and work with them on something like this is really, I think it makes a powerful union for the United Way and for Mercy Health," commented Erin Hardesty, president of the United Way of Greater Lima.
Schools can contact the United Way of Greater Lima if they need assistance to provide supplies to their students.
