The ESHM Free Herbal Clinic Fundraiser with Thomas Easley
The Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine (ESHM) is excited to announce a fundraiser for their student-led Free Herbal Clinic! After 10 years of operation, client needs have expanded beyond their budget, and they need your help to keep the free clinic thriving! With the the support of the herbal community, they will continue to offer comprehensive herbal care for all. LEARN MORE & DONATE THE GOAL Their fundraiser goal is to raise $10,000, which will cover the costs of the first round of herbal formulas for our free clinic clients for one year and help provide a living wage for their dedicated apothecary worker, who makes medicines and fills formulas onsite in Lowgap, NC. The free clinic supports countless people each year, but it’s costly to run. Despite the income from Eclectica Botanica sales, their current funding source for the free clinic, they're not coming close to breaking even. This fundraiser is crucial for them to sustain and expand their services. HOW YOU CAN HELP Your support can make a significant difference! They have an array of items generously donated by fellow herbalists available for purchase. All proceeds go directly to the free clinic. You can also sponsor a clinic client’s herbal needs or make a donation of any amount. Every contribution, even as little as $5, helps them continue offering essential services. Thank you for supporting their clinic and helping continue to provide valuable services to those in need! LEARN MORE & DONATE 🌼WANT MORE HERBAL GOODNESS?
