On Monday, February 28, CFFF sponsored the Hopkins Adult Activity Center's 2022 Healthy Hearts Drive-Thru for a second year.
The event provided more than 140 senior citizens in the Hopkins area with essential personal protective equipment (PPE) such as N95 masks, tissues and antibacterial wipes to help protect against COVID-19. They also received bags filled with healthy snacks (oranges, apples, crackers, multi-grain bars and bottled water).
As senior citizens have been one of the most vulnerable groups throughout the pandemic, this partnership helps us contribute to ensuring that this group within our community has the PPE they need during these times.
"Words cannot express our gratitude to Westinghouse for supporting our event." - Carletta Wilson, Event Organizer
In a separate community outreach effort, the CFFF team donated $5,000 to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) in support of veterans in the Columbia, South Carolina area. Established in 1920 by World War I veterans, DAV is a 501(c)(4) organization that helps disabled veterans of the United States Armed Forces and their families through various means. Its mission is to empower veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity.
The funds donated will go toward providing everyday essentials for veterans in the area.
