HTC NJ Donates Basic Healthcare items to local children

Healing the Children New Jersey (HTCNJ) is donating hundreds
of Health & Happiness packages to food banks and shelters throughout
the state. The packages consist of basic healthcare items for children
including shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, Band-Aids, ointment,
vitamins and thermometers. By partnering with organizations such as
CUMAC, Oasis, Catholic Charities, Covenant House, and El Centro Hispanic
Americano, it has enabled us to reach some of the most vulnerable
children in the Garden State. “The need for food and healthcare products
has increased dramatically due to the global pandemic. We are committed
to doing our part to alleviate burdens and promote healthy living,”
says Karen Mackie, Executive Director, Healing the Children New Jersey.

medical care and services to children around the world through three
unique programs: Medical Teams Abroad, International Inbound and
