Millers Foundation recently demonstrated their continued commitment to the local community by granting $5,000 to Western Tidewater Free Clinic (WTFC) to provide Clinic patients with access to transportation and diabetic supplies.
Reliable transportation options are limited in the Clinic’s Western Tidewater service area and many patients depend on others for rides. About one-third of the patients at WTFC have diabetes and cannot afford to buy their glucose test strips. Understanding these needs, the Foundation donated funds to be used to purchase $10 gasoline cards for the Clinic’s lowest income patients and a box of diabetic test strips for each diabetic patient.
