NC MedAssist Memorandum of Understanding <br />Over the Counter (OTC) Medicine <br /> <br />This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) sets forth the terms and understanding between NC MedAssist and <br /> (“Receiving Agency”). <br /> <br />Background <br />The volunteer program at NC MedAssist collaborates with Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina <br />(SHFBM) to provide over the counter (OTC) medication to those who cannot afford these medications. <br />Volunteers sort the product for expiration and then send it to NC MedAssist for distribution. NC <br />MedAssist in turn provides these medicines at no charge to the agency. <br /> <br />NC MedAssist makes no warranties or guarantee to the product quality or availability. NC MedAssist <br />uses volunteers to inventory and pack the medication. Reasonable care is given to checking for <br />expiration dates. However, NC MedAssist receives the products in “as is” condition and provides it to <br />the collaborating organization in “as is” condition. Should the collaborating organization have any <br />concerns about the safety of the product, they should not distribute it to the public and dispose of it <br />properly. <br /> <br />Clinics and non-profits with medical professionals who can oversee the distribution of leftover <br />medicine may arrange to pick up any remaining medicine after a Mobile Free Pharmacy event. <br />However, under no circumstances can the agency sell, give as awards, or attach a fee/donation to <br />the product. The goal of the program is to provide OTC’s to those in need in the communities served <br />by NC MedAssist. <br /> <br />Duration <br />This MOU shall become effective upon signature by the authorized officials from the agency and will <br />remain in effect until modified or terminated. This MOU is at-will and either party may terminate this <br />MOU without cause This MOU may be renewed on an annual basis upon mutual consent of the parties. <br /> <br />NC MEDASSIST: AGENCY NAME: <br /> <br />MEDASSIST OF <br />MECKLENBURG, INC. <br />_________________________ <br />Kinzie Luce Printed Name <br />Mobile Free Pharmacy <br />Events & Volunteer Manager <br /> Authorized Signature <br /> <br /> Title: <br /> <br /> Date: __________________ <br />Bonnie Hammersley <br />Orange County <br />Orange County, on behalf of its Emergency Services and Health Departments <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 334D2FB9-80AC-4BD8-A50F-0F81F20B370F <br />County Manager <br />6/29/2021
