Supporting Community Pharmacies through Disaster
Charles Scott’s parents bought their community pharmacy in 1952 in a small town in southern Georgia. For nearly 100 years Dawson’s Pharmacy has been serving the residents of their small town with prescriptions, patient care, and a familiar face. Over the years, Dawson’s pharmacy became a cornerstone in the rural community and had never experienced a store closure for more than two consecutive days.
In 2018 Hurricane Michael, the third-most intense Atlantic Hurricane to make landfall in the US, ripped its way through the Florida Panhandle spending the next six days ravaging communities from Tallahassee, FL to Southeast Virginia. The destruction path would eventually be spread over six states, affecting thousands of businesses and homes.
Dawson’s Pharmacy was one of the community pharmacies that was impacted by high winds and heavy rains. The rain seeped into the older structure, ultimately collapsing the pharmacy roof and destroying computer hardware, inventory, and flooring.
Because of individual donors to the NCPA Foundation Disaster Relief Fund, the NCPA Foundation was able to provide a much-needed financial grant to help Dawson’s Pharmacy continue to keep its doors open and to be the cornerstone of the small Georgia community.
Our Fundraising Goal
Dawson’s Pharmacy is just one story, in one state, in the disaster pathway of one hurricane. There are thousands of other stories of community pharmacies experiencing financial burdens from natural disasters.
The 2019 Atlantic Hurricane season officially begins June 1, 2019 and runs through November 30, 2019. As the rapid-intensification of hurricanes continue to produce stronger and more destructive storms, we can almost be certain that there will be a need to support community pharmacies experiencing a disaster.
The NCPA Foundation hopes to raise $10,000 to go towards helping community pharmacies rebound from damages experienced during natural disasters, including hurricanes.
With your donation, the NCPA Foundation can continue to provide grants to community pharmacies in need during the upcoming Hurricane season. The NCPA Foundation is dedicated to making every dollar count towards assisting struggling community pharmacies recover in the face of natural disasters.
