The Spartanburg Regional Foundation grants program allocated more than $600,000 this year to promote health and wellness in the community. These grants promote partnerships and clinical innovation, provide assistance for community members in crisis, and fund important technology and facilities upgrades.
“The Foundation is proud to support a deserving group of 2022 recipients, and we are grateful to the donors who make these grants possible,” said Kristy Caradori, executive director of the Foundation. “We were pleased to have numerous outstanding applicants from both the community and the health system. Our Grants and Allocations Committee and Board of Trustees have done a thorough job of reviewing proposals and selecting organizations and projects that will make a meaningful impact on the well-being of our community.”
During the holiday season, Spartanburg Regional Foundation provided meals to 10,000 hospital associates in the hospital system to show its appreciation for all their hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have never done anything like this, said Kristy Caradori, Spartanburg Regional Foundation executive director. It s been a difficult year for front-line folks. This is something we could do safely during the virus (COVID-19) and wanted staff to feel appreciated at this time.
Two-thousand meals were delivered Tuesday to employees at Spartanburg Medical Center s parking lot at 101 E. Wood St., Spartanburg. Each boxed meal contained turkey, macaroni and cheese, green beans, pumpkin pie, rolls, and gravy. There was enough food in each box to feed up to six people.
