“This annual tradition is the largest fundraising campaign for the Jonesboro Church Health Center,” said Charlott Jones, JCHC board treasurer and peach committee chair. “We surpassed last year’s fundraising total and are grateful for the continued support of community members who purchase peaches and make donations to advance our mission.”
The fundraiser depends on dozens of volunteers who help market the campaign, coordinate delivery routes, sort orders, and distribute peaches throughout the community.
“This effort would not be possible without our incredible volunteers and supporters,” said Reagan McNeil, JCHC board president. “Their commitment helps ensure that uninsured adults in our community continue to have access to the healthcare services they need. We are grateful for their ongoing support of our mission.”
