If weather conditions affect shipping routes or delivery timelines, we may delay shipping these medications to ensure they arrive safely and remain effective.

As the year comes to a close, your generosity can still make a life-saving difference.

When Jason R. came to NC MedAssist, he was uninsured and struggling with severe depression, anxiety, diabetes, and hypertension. Without access to his medications, his health had reached a critical point.

“I was very near death,” Jason shared.

Through a local clinic, Jason connected with NC MedAssist and began receiving the medications he needed. With consistent access to care, he started rebuilding his health—step by step.

Stories like Jason’s are possible because of compassionate donors who believe access to medication shouldn’t depend on income or insurance status.

December 31 is the final day to make a 2025 tax-deductible donation. Your year-end gift helps ensure more neighbors across North Carolina receive the life-saving medications they need.
