St. Tammany Hospital Guild Donates to Food Bank

COVINGTON - The St. Tammany Hospital Guild recently donated 98 pounds of food to the Covington Food Bank from its summer food drive.

“Our Guild volunteers understand that we have a need in our community and we enjoy assisting the Covington Food Bank with their mission,” said Guild President Ron Rome. “It gives us the opportunity to serve more of the community through St. Tammany Parish Hospital.”

The St. Tammany Hospital Guild is an organization of about 100 members who donate 25,000 hours each year in 20 of the hospital’s departments. The Guild also raises money through sales in the hospital gift shop to provide nursing and allied health scholarships for fall and spring semesters. The scholarships are awarded to deserving hospital staff members who are furthering their education in medical fields.
