      <title>Medical Society Partners with Marion Polk Food Share</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Marion Polk Medical Society and Marion Polk Food Share are nonprofits with a common purpose:&amp;nbsp; closing the gap on food insecurity and providing nutritious food to those in need. Part of the mission of the Food Share is their &lt;strong&gt;Youth Farm&lt;/strong&gt;. The farm, run largely by high school aged kids, raises crops and gives the food away. Food boxes are specifically tailored to the nutrition needs of the recipient. This is &lt;strong&gt;"food as medicine"&lt;/strong&gt; and the Medical Society supports this excellent program!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Medical Society is partnering with the Food Share to raise funds to support the youth farm in 2026. &lt;strong&gt;The goal is to raise $20,000&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
