Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital Sets New Record for Annual Food Drive
HOUSTON ( July 25 , 2016 ) – Employees , physicians and volunteers at Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital raised a record $ 24,741 and collected 37 pounds of food during its Annual Food Drive for Southeast Area Ministries ( SeAM ).
“ I ’ m so proud of our employees , physicians , and volunteers who are dedicated to making a difference in people ’ s lives and serving our community ,” says Kyle Price , Sr . Vice President , CEO , Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital . “ As health care providers , we know the importance of a healthy diet and the serious implications a lack of food can have on a child ’ s physical and mental health .”
According to the Houston Food Bank , roughly one in four children are at risk of hunger in southeast Texas . Southeast Area Ministries works to provide food to nearly 2,000 families across southeast Houston each month .
“ This donation is a vital part of our ministry and we are extremely grateful to the physicians , administration and staff at Memorial Hermann Southeast ,” says Daer Platt , SeAM ’ s director of operations . “ Donations like this are so important , especially in the middle of the year . I ’ m not sure we could make it through the summer without this kind of generosity and support .”
SeAM , working in close partnership with the Houston Food Bank , can turn just a few dollars into food for two to three days because of the organization ’ s bulk and discounted food buying power . The charity provides food , clothing , household and financial assistance for those in need in southeast Houston .
Memorial Hermann Southeast Chaplaincy Services and Partners in Caring raised awareness and donations for its Annual Food Drive through a raffle , bake sales , and other unit and department fundraisers .
