Valley Orthopedic Associates donated $5,000 to the Salvation Army Renton Corps in December to help keep the shelves stocked at the Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank.

Valley Orthopedic Associates created a Friendship Fund to help organizations in Renton, Kent and the Snoqualmie area. Charities to help are chosen by employees, who donate the money.

Valley Orthopedic Associates (VOA) representatives presented the $5,000 donation check to Captain Chris Aird, corps officer.  Making the presentation were Michele Croft, VOA lead medical assistant supervisor, Jeanine Martin, business office manager, and Di Madsen, operations manager.

Founded in 1973, Valley Orthopedic Associates is one of the largest orthopedic practices in the Pacific Northwest, with locations in Renton and Covington.
