Charitable Pharmacy of Central Ohio is a non-profit, full-service pharmacy that provides medications to those who can't otherwise afford them. We began this work in 2010 and have grown to serve more than 1,600 patients with 100,000+ free prescriptions each year. Pharmacists and pharmacy students use each visit with our patients to help educate and empower them toward reaching their best health.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

This is an excellent team building event and requires no prior experience.  The Charitable Pharmacy receives blister cards of donated medicines from nursing homes, and is able to up-cycle the medicines as a free source of inventory. These cards arrive in large boxes and require sorting. Volunteers will join together to open these boxes, sort the cards alphabetically by the drug name, and then bundle them by like items and mark the expiration dates. In doing so, you will help organize this important resource and make it usable for our pharmacy team to provide to patients. We'll end the sorting fun with a quick tour of the Pharmacy!

DETAILS:
