Due to hazardous weather and travel conditions incited by Tropical Storm Debby, Dosher has canceled their August 8th drive-through school supply donation event. This would have been Dosher’s 4th annual “Operation School Supplies,” in which donations are collected for Communities in Schools (CIS) of Brunswick County to support the students that they serve. Dosher encourages community members who had planned to attend the August 8th event to drop off school supply donations at a CIS sponsored “Stuff Our Bus” school supply drive on either August 12th or August 13th at participating Brunswick County Walmart locations, from 10:00am – 4:00 pm each day. The donation site will be a yellow school bus parked outside of the store.
Dosher Memorial Hospital will deliver school supplies collected from their staff members to the yellow school bus at the Southport Walmart on August 13th.
“Dosher Hospital has enjoyed hosting school supply donation events to benefit the students served by CIS for the last three years, and we are grateful for the ongoing support from our community and staff. Despite the weather interfering with our planned event at the hospital, we look forward to helping CIS stuff the bus this Tuesday with the generous donations we have collected from Dosher staff members,” said Dosher President and CEO Lynda Stanley,
