The Village Pharmacy Gives Back

At The Village Pharmacy, we recognize the importance of being socially responsible citizens. It’s part of our DNA. So, on behalf of our clients, we donate 5% of our profits to local, national and international organizations. We've done this every year we've been in business, and we’re committed to sustaining and growing our investment to help make the world a better place for all.

When you get your prescriptions at The Village Pharmacy, you can feel good knowing that you're also helping to support HIV service organizations, plus national and international organizations that help address some of today’s biggest challenges. Thank you for being part of The Village Pharmacy family.
