Albion Healthcare Center collecting back-to-school supplies

ALBION – Orleans Community Health has announced a special event at the Albion Healthcare Center to support students of the Albion Central School District.

Between now and Aug. 17 the community is invited to join the Albion Healthcare Center in gathering essential school supplies for the upcoming school year.

The hospital and Albion Healthcare Center realize school supplies can often be costly expenditures, especially with all the other costs for going back to school.

“We’re hoping our team’s effort is able to help some families, even if just a little,” said Scott

Robinson, director of Marketing, Communications and Outreach at Orleans Community Health.

Members of the community are encouraged to donate backpacks, folders, pens, pencils, colored pencils and notebooks and drop them off at the Albion Healthcare Center.

“Your generous contributions will help ensure that students in the Albion School District start their school year prepared to learn,” Robinson said.

On Aug. 17, the public and parents are invited to visit the Albion Healthcare Center between noon and 2 p.m., when some supplies will be distributed and tours given of the facility, offering an opportunity to meet with members of the Albion team. Items not distributed during the event will be provided to the Albion Central School District to be distributed as they see fit, ensuring that every donation finds its way to a student in need.
