Nemours Cares: Hospital Leadership Team Helps to Address Food Insecurity with Blessings in a Backpack Event

Editor’s Note: Video interviews, B-roll are available for download on this page.

To show Nemours’ commitment to boosting the health of our community, executives from Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida partnered with Blessings in a Backpack to fill backpacks to be shared with students on the free lunch programs at Winegard Elementary School. This community gift bridges the gap between a child’s school lunch on Friday and breakfast on Monday.
