Savannah Speech and Hearing Center,  a nonprofit organization serving the speech pathology and audiology needs of the Coastal Empire, will use the grant to support their Sound Start program providing learning and therapy materials, tests, and educational toys for the children enrolled in the school.

“We are proud to be a part of the KidsCents Thanks For Giving Holiday program,” said Dr. Beth McIntosh, Savannah Speech and Hearing Center Executive Director.  “This #GivingTuesday, and every day, The Rite Aid Foundation’s support helps us continue improving the lives of children in our community.”
