- Description: Often times our clients who suffer from Sickle Cell Disease cannot work a full-time job due to their illness. Many of them are on disability or have limited funds that prohibit them from meeting their needs. The Food Pantry provides supplemental food and Gatorade through on-site distribution for our Sickle Cell Disease and abnormal hemoglobin clients. Hydration is an important factor in staying healthy for clients with Sickle Cell Disease and Gatorade has been known to help some clients during a Sickle Cell Crisis. The Gatorade program was designed to help clients with Sickle Cell Disease to have Gatorade on-hand in the event of a Crisis. Clients with Sickle Cell Trait are an important part of our community. Both clients with trait and disease are served as resources allow, but the Gatorade program is only for clients with the disease
