Topic:                            We would like to begin our weekly report each week with  appreciation to Mr. Tracy Causey and the Capital Area Health Network transportation team for their show of support and collective solidarity as food is medicine bags were delivered to our pregnant, postpartum moms and breastfeeding mothers.  

During this time of social distancing and isolation and in compliance with the CDC guidelines, we will make home deliveries to our families so that they will have the necessary nutritious foods utilizing food as medicine. Our staff and drivers continue to follow the state mandated 6 feet distance so that they maintain a safe distance from our families while they  provide this essential service. 

This week we welcomed 2 new mothers to our sister circle. Both mothers are expecting in late fall and early winter. Food is  medicine bags were provided to all our families this week as well as 2 COVID tests kits per family on behalf of the Capital  Area Health Network. The members of the New Beginning  

Church ministry also donated diapers. We are so grateful for all our community partners and those who give to support our mission.  

You can find more information on our programs on Facebook  and Instagram. On behalf of Dr. Alice Freeman, the entire staff  of Healthy Hearts Plus II and the families we serve, we say, “Thank You” for your unselfish love and act of kindness. We pray blessings of good health, peace of mind and total wellness  for each of you. Please continue to be safe and well.
