The Eunice Community Health Center
The Eunice Community Health Center is usually involved in providing health care to those in need, but the coronovirus turned that situation around.
Now, the clinic is needing the public’s help because the virus shutdown many of its usual sources of funding.
“I’m writing on behalf of keeping our no-cost pharmacy/clinic operating. We are in need of funds to help sustain the clinic and continue to serve people in need. Due to COVID-19 we have suspended all fundraisers,” wrote Yancy Fontenot, executive director.
The annual Spirit of Christmas Food Drive sponsored by Super 1 Foods is here. Each year, it is the Eunice Rotary Club’s goal to deliver baking hens and boxes of food to 100 needy families in the Eunice area.
Due to the overwhelming support of local schools, the club has been able to exceed that number each year.
