The Warminster Food Bank is pleased to announce that they recently received a donation of 220 pounds of food and $1000 from the John Kennedy Ford Dealership in Feasterville. The donations were part of a company-wide initiative held during the month of December to benefit food pantries in their local communities, and the Warminster Food Bank was chosen by the Feasterville dealership.

Customers, employees, and local residents were invited to donate non-perishable food items throughout the initiative. In addition to collecting food, John Kennedy Dealerships committed to making a $1,000 monetary donation to each of seven local food banks.

Many families are struggling, especially with the additional expenses that came during the holiday season. The Kennedy Dealerships’ donations will help Warminster Food Bank bridge the gap for individuals at a time when it is most needed.

“We chose to support the Warminster Food Bank because they play such a vital role in helping our neighbors during difficult times,” said Scott Noble, Director of Advertising, John Kennedy Dealerships. “As a family-owned organization, we believe it’s our responsibility to give back to the communities that support us.”

“We are incredibly grateful to John Kennedy Dealerships, their employees, and their customers for this generous and thoughtful initiative,” said Mike Cerino, Executive Director, Warminster Food Bank.

“The combination of donated food and financial support makes a meaningful difference for the families we serve, helping us respond to immediate needs, while strengthening our ability to support the community throughout the year. Partnerships like this truly demonstrate the power of local businesses coming together to care for their neighbors.”

After a long winter, many people are now looking ahead to spring break travel. Whether your plans have you headed to the beach or traveling abroad, GIANT and MARTIN’S pharmacists are available as a resource with pre-travel health consultations and over-the-counter product suggestions.

“The same way you may enlist the expertise of a travel agent when booking your vacation, your local GIANT or MARTIN’S pharmacist also has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to ensuring you have the right vaccinations or health essentials ahead of your trip,” said Nick Koch, director of pharmacy and wellbeing, The GIANT Company. “From pre-health travel consultations to offering recommendations for the best sunscreens and first aid basics, don’t overlook the value that our team of pharmacists can bring to your vacation preparations.”

If your spring break plans have you traveling aboard, GIANT and MARTIN’S pharmacists can also get you adventure ready with a pre-travel health consultation approximately as soon as travel dates are confirmed and a minimum of one month before you leave. This includes vaccines, prescription referrals, and over-the-counter medications.

Vaccines^* include but are not limited to yellow fever vaccine (available at select locations), typhoid vaccine and cholera vaccine. Prescription referrals include malaria prevention, traveler’s diarrhea prevention and care, motion sickness prevention and altitude sickness prevention. For more information or to schedule an appointment, visit https://giantfoodstores.com/pages/pharmacy-services.

GIANT and MARTIN’S pharmacists advise that any prescription medication should always be packed in one’s carry-on bag, never in checked luggage, and preferably in the original container with the prescription label affixed. Be sure to bring enough for your trip as well as extra should there be any travel delays.

Travelers are also encouraged to pack a small first aid kit for on-the-go use. This should include bandages of various sizes, gauze pads, antibiotic ointment, hydrocortisone cream, tweezers and a thermometer. Be sure to add over the counter pain relievers, antacids, decongestants, hand sanitizers and antibacterial wipes, too. Additional items may be needed based on one’s destination and weather.
