Endwell Family Physicians – Giving Back
The employees and owners of EFP feel very strongly in “giving back” to our community.
We started out small scale, with occasional “dress down days”. The money raised was used to help out a local charity or a needy family. When the Flood of 2006 devastated our region, several of our own employees were in need of desperate help. That’s when we decided to take action.
The staff organized several fundraisers within the office. We are proud to say that we were able to help twelve different employee families with the money raised. We also made monetary donations and collected needed items for the local organizations that were aiding the flood victims.
After reaching and exceeding this fundraising goal, we were determined to do more. EFP feels very fortunate that we can come together to be able to help families in our community. We continue to hold special fundraisers as we become aware of areas where we can be of service, and we host an annual Thanksgiving dinner with a basket raffle for our employees, the proceeds of which are donated to charity.
EFP also participates in conjunction with WBNG in the annual Backpack and Coat drives.
Over the years, we have proudly donated to several different charities, families, and organizations.
