CORPUS CHRISTI - Although Hurricane Harvey hit nearly four weeks ago, many people are still trying to make ends meet. 

With the help of the Nueces County Commissioners Court, Coast2CoastRx will continue to provide prescription discounts through their free discount card program. 

The program has been in affect for six years. However now that many are feeling the burden of Harvey, they want to bring more awareness to their program.

Zach Barrett, an employee of Coast2Coast Rx said, "A lot of the people who were affected by the hurricane, or who are just in the situation that they need to go get medicine for whatever reason -- a program such as us can really alleviate that."

Regardless of income, age, or health status, anyone can sign up. Although the program is aimed to help those who are uninsured or under-insured, individuals and/or families are welcome to use it.

Those who do have a discount card can save up to 75% on prescription drugs. You can also save on dental, vision, veterinary, hearing, diabetic services, and more.
