POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Fruth Pharmacy has launched its Free Vitamins for Kids program.
The regional drug chain said Friday that, under the program, chairman and president Lynne Fruth and/or members of her staff will visit school districts and children’s facilities to provide a card that will enable children to get a free bottle of vitamins each month for one year.
Students participating in the program will receive a half-sheet letter for parents that explains the benefits of vitamins. Attached to the parent sheet is a wallet-size card, and parents or children present the card at a Fruth Pharmacy counter to obtain the vitamins. A Fruth associate will scan the card and hole-punch the appropriate month.
No additional purchase is necessary. Students can receive the vitamins through September 2016.
Overall, Fruth Pharmacy operates 28 drug stores in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky.
