CMS Community Service Family Food-Packing Event

CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY COMMUNITY SERVICE FAMILY FOOD-PACKING EVENT

Family volunteering is the latest opportunity the Capital Medical Society provided to physicians and their families to grow new and existing friendships, bond as families, and to experience health benefits like reducing stress and providing a sense of purpose. On September 17, enthusiastic packers assisted Second Harvest of the Big Bend, in packing backpacks for their Backpack Program, which provides food to children to take home on the weekends throughout the school year. Stay tuned for the next Capital Medical Society family activity. Past events include Tallahassee Museum, CMS Family Movie Nights, Dog Parks, and Catch My Stride walks. If you have other suggested activities, please contact Pam Irwin at pirwin@capmed.org or 850-559-8611.

“At first, it was just the fun of chatting with people I haven't seen in a while, and listening to happy music while doing a ‘good cause.’ But halfway through, I looked up to see a pallet labeled ‘Pre-K’ and it broke my heart, the idea of a child my son's age, hungry. Bittersweet reminder of how blessed we are.” - Sarah Ko, M.D., CMS President-Elect
