Bedford Regional Medical Center encourages everyone to “Give Back to Bedford” and Lawrence County by joining BRMC employees in donating to LIFE Pantry. The food drive will take place September 21st through October 2nd.

1. Pick up a red, environmentally friendly “Giving Back to Bedford” bag. *

2. Fill your bag with food and drop it off in the front lobby of the hospital or take it directly to LIFE Pantry at 1204 I Street, Bedford or 903 W Main Street, Mitchell.

3. Keep the bag as a reminder to continue “Giving Back to Bedford.”

The number of households that LIFE serves has grown considerably over the last three years. More than 260 families are currently being served compared to 189 families in 2008 and 116 families in 2007.

*"Giving Back to Bedford” bags can be picked up in the front entrance of the hospital or at BRMC’s booth at the Persimmon Festival.
