Monarch Wake Behavioral Health Urgent Care will give out health information as well. The event will occur rain or shine, and all OTC items will be given first-come, first-serve while supplies last.

Last year, NC MedAssist held 53 Mobile Free Pharmacy events across North Carolina. For each event, NC MedAssist is committed to bringing enough OTC medicine for 1,000 people in need. NC MedAssist’s overall goal is to help ease the burden of those in need by aiding people who have been forced to decide between buying food and purchasing life-saving medication.

Alliance Health serves people in North Carolina’s Cumberland, Durham, Johnston, Mecklenburg, Orange and Wake counties who are insured by Medicaid or are uninsured. Their network of providers offers treatment and support for mental illness, substance use disorders, and intellectual/developmental disabilities. Learn more at https://www.alliancehealthplan.org/.
