Stewart’s Shops and the Dake Family recently announced a donation of $275,000 to Hudson Headwaters Health Network.
“The healthcare organization has done an excellent job providing quality care in rural communities throughout upstate New York,” the retailer noted in a statement.
Hudson Headwaters used the donation to create a teaching kitchen at its new Salem Family Health Center in Washington County. Located on county Route 64 on the site of a former family farm, the teaching kitchen offers free nutrition classes to patients and community members. The new center and kitchen opened in May.
Hudson Headwaters served 157,000 patients last year across 25 health centers between Glens Falls and the Canadian border, making it a valuable asset for the region.
“We are proud to support their efforts,” the statement continued.
Stewart’s employs 5,500 people who operate more than 400 convenience stores across upstate New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.
