Charleston Job Corps students help with kids' health event

Students from the Charleston Job Corps Center volunteered for the 21st Annual Kidoodle Kids’ Day on May 3 at the South Charleston Community Center. This free event for area children and their families, included services such as free dental, hearing and vision screenings, glucose and speech screenings, car seat safety checks, Jupiter Jump, a DJ, clown, and much more.  Thomas Memorial Hospital staff  were on hand to answer questions, provide education materials to families, and help give away 500 bicycle helmets to the children.

The Charleston Job Corps students assisted with screenings by signing up families and helping them with paperwork. CJCC volunteers included Francesca Wickline, Sara McDuffie, Tiffany Robinson, Nadirrah Wright and Stephanie Brown accompanied by Tia Welch, business community liaison.
  
This annual event is sponsored by The Foundation for the Thomas Memorial and Saint Francis Hospitals.
