Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy in Carlsbad has chosen Mitchell Thorp Foundation (MTF) as the recipient of their annual Holiday Gift Bag Donation Program. The program offers the community an opportunity to purchase much-needed wellness and personal care products during the holiday season that will be distributed to MTF families, whose children suffer from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders. The Holiday Gift Bag program works by having Pharmaca staff members filling gift bags with all natural personal care items, necessities like diapers and body wash, and fun holiday gifts—all of which are handpicked for the MTF families. Pharmaca staff members then assemble the bags and make them available for purchase, in denominations of $10, $15 or $25, throughout November and December. Pharmaca will deliver the gift bags to MTF around December25.
Last year, Pharmaca, a nationwide integrative pharmacy, facilitated the donation of $68,000 worth of wellness goods to charities across its 24 stores nationwide.
“The Holiday Gift Bag program offers us a way to provide some of Pharmaca’s favorite products and gifts to the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, which is supporting families in the community we serve,” said Eric Bandner, Carlsbad Pharmaca’s general manager. “It’s also a great way to inform our customers about the important work the Foundation is doing. We look forward to continuing to grow our donationseach year.”
Gift bags are available for purchase in Pharmaca stores now through December 23. For more information contact Beth Thorp at beth@mitchellthorp.org or Carlsbad Pharmaca Store Manager Eric Bandner at 760-444-3800.
