Give Back

We’re grateful for the local restaurants who’ve donated meals and snacks to our healthcare professionals. If you’d like to donate food, snacks or gift cards, email CommunityBenefit@AtriumHealth.org so we can help coordinate your delivery.

All food donations must follow these guidelines:

• Food should be prepared in a commercial kitchen and individually wrapped
• Deliveries should be double bagged
• Food must be delivered outside the facility
• “Communal” foods like pizza are discouraged

If you’d prefer to give back by donating funds, there are causes you can help immediately.

To slow the spread of coronavirus, activities everywhere have been canceled. Unfortunately, this also includes some blood drives. Fewer blood drives can mean a blood shortage, which is scary news for patients fighting cancer, victims of car accidents and those who need surgery.

Even though both North and South Carolina are now under stay-at-home orders, giving blood is something you can leave home to do. Visit OneBlood, and make an appointment to donate blood and save a life.

If you love sewing, making masks for patients can be a great way to give back.

Anyone who comes to our facilities is asked to wear a mask. We’re saving surgical masks for doctors, nurses and other teammates caring for patients and providing cloth masks for healthcare workers who don’t directly care for patients – people like pharmacists, maintenance workers and supply delivery staff. We’d also like to have enough cloth masks to give to our adult and pediatric patients when they walk in the door, and you can help!

Follow the instructions below for sewing hospital masks:

How to make adult-sized masks.
How to make child-sized masks.

Then send them to:
