In honor of National Hunger Awareness Month, North Oaks Health is hosting a “Feeding Our Own” food drive throughout September.
The food drive will help stock the North Oaks “Feeding Our Own” food pantry, which serves patients who report food insecurity. We couldn’t continue “Feeding Our Own’s” mission without your support.
Compete for a Good Cause
As a North Oaks employee, you are invited to take part in our employee team/department competition during the food drive! Channel your competitive spirit throughout September to win prizes and support a great cause.
Participation is easy. Here's how it works:
- Create an employee team or decide to compete as a department.
