United Way of Franklin County also partners with FamilyWize to distribute prescription drug discount cards.

How it Works
The FamilyWize Prescription Drug Discount Card enables you to receive discounted pricing on prescription drugs. This is not insurance. It is a program that offers immediate discounts on prescription drugs at participating pharmacies. Simply present your card with each prescription from your doctor to the participating pharmacy at the time of purchase to receive your discounts. If you need to transfer a prescription, bring your empty prescription bottle or label with you to the pharmacy.

Save an average of 20% off the pharmacy's usual and customary retail price of prescription drugs, with the highest savings on generic drugs.

You may obtain the free cards at the United Way of Franklin County office or by visiting the FamilyWize web page where you will be able to print out a card. Cards may be used by the entire family. There is no sign up or any forms to complete.
