COVID-19 Test Kit Distribution
Friends of SWVA MRC provided support to volunteers to give out free Covid-19 test kits before Christmas in all of the Food City grocery stores in the Mount Rogers Health Districts. Volunteers provided education on how to use the two types of kits and made sure citizens understood how to read the test results. With this activity, volunteers are hoping to ensure a healthier Christmas in Southwest Virginia.
