A prescription card program run by the United Way of Door County is about a lot more than saving you money at the pharmacy counter. Since 2008, the organization has distributed Single Care prescription discount cards to residents to help redistribute the money usually spent on prescriptions to other needs that they may have. From July 2022 to June 2023, the program helped save Door County residents $59,738 at the pharmacy. United Way of Door County Executive Director Amy Kohnle says the program helps those struggling to make ends meet, like seniors on fixed incomes, make better decisions about their health and finances.

The program is one of the many funded by the United Way of Door County, which is currently in the middle of its annual campaign. The organization has a goal of $825,000 that they would like to meet by early January.
