Health Connect America and First Home Care Employees Volunteer Across Virginia for "Day of Giving"

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a heartfelt response to the Family Centered Treatment Foundation's (FCTF) Annual Day of Giving, Health Connect America proudly participated in a series of volunteer activities across Virginia on March 1st. This initiative underscores our commitment to the FCTF's mission of keeping families together and children safe at home through evidence-based practices.

A Day of Unity and Giving Back

Health Connect America and First Home Care, FCT Practitioners, mobilized its workforce in Virginia along with HopeTree Family Services and various Departments of Social Services to engage in various acts of kindness and community service. Employees dedicated their time and efforts to make a significant impact through activities such as preparing and delivering "Loving Lunches" for the homeless in Roanoke, beautifying the exterior of Bristol DSS in Abingdon, organizing a hygiene and personal care drive for a local women’s shelter in Alexandria/Sterling, and more, showcasing the power of collective action and the spirit of giving. Here is a summary of all of the activities conducted:

Roanoke: Lunch preparation and delivery for 75 people at The Least of These Ministry. Volunteers will also participate in activities at the Habitat Store, SPCA, the Jewish Community Center, and the Red Cross.
Abingdon: Beautification of Bristol DSS with planters, plants, and solar lighting.
Alexandria/Sterling: Hygiene and personal care drive for a local women’s shelter.
Charlottesville/Farmville: Food drive for a local charity.
Grundy: School supply drive.
Harrisonburg/Waynesboro: Enhancements to the interview room at The Collins Center.
Norton: Dessert party for patients at Norton Cancer Center.
Orange: Food drive for a local food ministry.
Empowering Communities, One Act at a Time

The FCT Foundation champions the belief that "the power of giving is greater than the joy of receiving" (Norbert Harms). Aligning with this philosophy, our teams across Virginia embraced the opportunity to contribute creatively and meaningfully to their communities. The day was filled with acts that not only brought smiles to many faces but also strengthened community bonds.

“In celebrating the Family Centered Treatment Foundation's Annual Day of Giving, we at Health Connect America are reminded of the profound impact that collective acts of kindness can have on our communities. This day aligns perfectly with our mission to foster healing and unity, not just within families, but across entire communities.” Kristi Shain, CEO of Health Connect America.
