Salmon Creek -- Fred Meyer customers and employees donated $5,259.11 to Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center’s cancer services as part of the company’s holiday giving campaign. The money was raised through change dropped into check stand coin boxes and by Fred Meyer employees at its seven Clark County stores. Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center’s cancer services programs serve more than 3,600 people annually. The donation will be used to offer free mammograms to those who otherwise could not afford them, and to provide support groups for breast cancer patients and their families.
