LEWISBURG, W.Va. — According to The Centers for American Progress, West Virginia ranks 46^th in the nation for families living below the poverty line with a rate of 17.9%.  In an effort to combat hunger in our community, the employees of Greenbrier Medical Arts Pharmacy recently joined forces with Lewisburg Elementary School to help stock the shelves at a local food bank.  Nearly 1,000 non-perishable items were collected for the Williamsburg Food Pantry, just in time for the holiday season.
