Back in November, in light of the election results and its fallout, we pledged to donate 100% of the co-pays we collected between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an important organization that fights hate and teaches tolerance.
We followed through on our promise and mailed them a check in early January. Recently, we received a thank-you note from the SPLC. While the letter is addressed to us, the gratitude should really be directed at you, our patients, for it is your money that is funding their important work. So, from both the SPLC and us, thank you.
Sincerely,
Jonah Soolman, Registered Dietitian / Co-Owner
