Briefs: Pharmacy donates to local charities
Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy has donated more than $7,000 in products and cash to local charities, according to a company spokesman.
The donations were made when pharmacist Chet Yee transitioned from his Menlo Park pharmacy to the new Pharmaca store, which opened in November at 871 Santa Cruz Ave.
Donations include $2,750 in vitamins, medicines and health aids to the Menlo Medical Global Outreach Alliance of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church; $2,000 in vitamins, medicines and health aids to Harvest Home Mission for relief work in rural Mexico; and $1,500 in products to be used in Woodside Village Church's program to help underprivileged and homeless people in the Bay Area.
A portion of Pharmaca's grand opening sales ($1,000) was given to the annual Jerry Rice Toy Drive.
Founded in 2000, Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy is based in Boulder, Colorado. The company owns 23 pharmacies in the western states.
