Nouveau-Brunswick United Ways will receive financial support to meet increased needs in communities
VARENNES, QC, April 17, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - The Jean Coutu pharmacies network will donate $50 000 to New-Brunswick United Ways to support community relief efforts in the current pandemic context.
Mindful of the public's concerns and the impact COVID-19 has on their lives, the Jean Coutu Pharmacies network is pleased to answer the call of its long-time community partner. This donation will help to meet the most urgent need in the communities in which we are present. Among other things, it will allow supporting vulnerable individuals and families, as well as front-line organizations, through the delivery of food, access to health supplies and transportation to critical appointments, in addition to helping with mental health and social resources.
Well established in New Brunswick since 1982, The Jean Coutu Group, through its network of 28 pharmacies in the province, has been at the forefront to meet the essential health needs of the population since the beginning of the crisis. Our priority has been to ensure the safety of our employees, our pharmacists owners and their clientele so that they can continue to take care of people's health.
