Fundraiser to Benefit Garden Project at Family Medicine Center March 23rd

Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Monday, March 21st, 2016

Green Truck Pub in Savannah will host a fundraiser to benefit the Memorial Health University Physicians-Family Medicine Center garden project on Wednesday, March 23, from 5 to 7 p.m. The event is sponsored by Georgia’s Lowcountry Chapter of the American Herbalists Guild.

Family medicine resident physician Justin Law, M.D., is spearheading the raised-bed garden project. An avid gardener himself, he plans to install raised garden beds on the grounds of the Family Medicine Center, located on 66th Street. The vegetables and herbs grown there will be distributed – free of charge – to Family Medicine Center patients to encourage them to make healthy food choices.

Green Truck Pub, located at 2430 Habersham Street, will donate $1 for every SweetWater product sold that night. Additionally, the restaurant will match up to $500 of the total raised.

Law and his fellow family medicine residents are planning to install the beds and plant the vegetables and herbs in April.
