SECOND ANNUAL “PENNIES 4 PILLS” CAMPAIGN

Lafayette Community Health Care Clinic’s Community Pharmacy provides prescription medications at no cost to eligible uninsured residents of Acadia, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin and Vermillion Parishes. With a minimal budget, the Community Pharmacy provided nearly 5000 people with prescription medications valued at $1,708,850.00 in 2010. The “Pennies 4 Pills” Campaign helps the Community Pharmacy provide medications at no cost to our eligible uninsured neighbors in Acadiana.
