Florida Hospital donates school and medical supplies

VOLUSIA AND FLAGLER COUNTIES, Fla., August 4, 2017 Throughout June and July, four local Florida Hospitals collected school and medical supplies for two local charities. Employees from Florida Hospital Flagler in Palm Coast, Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center in Daytona Beach, Florida Hospital Oceanside in Ormond Beach and Florida Hospital New Smyrna in New Smyrna Beach donated school supplies to The Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler counties. Hospital staff filled more than 50 boxes of crayons, notebooks, pencils, pens, index cards, glue sticks, scissors, backpacks, and more. We were so thrilled to receive this outpouring of support from Florida Hospital. With this generous gift, we will be able to help more than 7,000 local students, said Gloria Max of the Jewish Federation. In 22 years, we will have helped over 100,000 students receive backpacks filled with supplies.
