As the New Year approaches and resolutions are made, many parents look for an
opportunity to help their children make changes, too. Teaching children the
importance of helping others can spark a lifetime commitment to make a positive
impact on those around them.
Caring Kids, Virtua Foundation’s youth philanthropy program, supports children and
teens who wish to make a difference in the lives of patients and families at Virtua. It
empowers young people to select a meaningful cause and take action.
Caring Kids Spotlight
Meghann Herman
,
Patient,
Volunteer, Donor
Meghann Herman spent the first days of her
life in the Special Care Nursery at Virtua
Memorial. As a teen, Meghann became a
junior volunteer and provided care and
comfort to babies and families there. She also
organized a clothing drive, and with support from her community, donated
essential baby items to families in the nursery.
“I wanted to do something to give back to the community and help someone
else without expecting anything in return,” says Meghann.
