Now available via Tripp’s Care of Poor People: Discount meds

Richard Tripp wants everyone to know that now, besides putting on a big party and food-and-clothing giveaway for poor people twice a year, he’s hooked up with a program that can help everyone save as much as 85 percent on their prescriptions.

Honesty RX is an online fund-raising effort that lets churches, schools — and apparently badass formerly homeless cab drivers who want to take care of their brothers and sisters — raise a little cash off of the pharmaceutical industry (hell, everyone else is) while giving a discount to those who need medicine.

People can sign up — and get updates about everything else Tripp’s doing — at his Web site, coppinc.com.
