VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. â National Nurses Week is May 6-12. With the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems more people are realizing just how critical the need is for nurses.
A non-profit organization called Care4Frontline is helping medical professionals in Hampton Roads. They started out with making and delivering what they call âPantry Boxes.â Theyâre boxes filled with on-the-go snacks that nurses can have when theyâre in a hurry.
âWhatever we are delivering, they are grateful,â said Pam Blais, the President of Care4Frontline. âIt just makes your heart feel amazing to be able to give to people who are doing this every day.â
