AllCare Health has announced a $20,000 grant award to the Josephine County Chapter of the American Legion.
The grant is designed to improve food security for veterans, their families and prioritized vulnerable people by creating a remodeled kitchen at American Legion Post #28 in Grants Pass.
The grant will fund a code-compliant kitchen so volunteers can provide hot meals in a safe location, decreasing risks of isolation in a trauma-informed setting. Food security is crucial to community health and well-being, and contributes to reducing the community burden of illness, disease and behavioral health challenges.
American Legion Post #28 has provided important services to veterans and others for more than 80 years. This grant is part of AllCare Health pledge of $2.7 million in 2024 for improving the health and well-being of Southern Oregon communities.
AllCare Health is an innovative, physician-owned and locally-operated healthcare organization. Over the past 30 years, the organizations has provided coordinated care, health insurance, primary-, behavioral- and dental health care, as well as substantial community grants benefiting local residents.
