SFLHCC in Partnership with Cigna hosted the Healthy Kids for Our Future Event

The South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation hosted a healthy food drive as part of its program with Cigna, Healthier Kids for Our Future. The children of Centro Mater enjoyed a healthy food demonstration presentation by Short Chef who demonstrated an easy and healthy recipe that the families and children can follow, a 30-minute Zumba session to burn some energy, and prizes were presented to the children for their participation. They also enjoyed the Photo Booth and each family received a bag of groceries to aid them during these tough economic times. Thank you to our sponsor Cigna for their continued partnership.
