Kendrick High School students create care packages for cancer patients

COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Students from Kendrick High School are lending a helping hand to cancer patients in Columbus.

Kendrick High School’s Academy of Communications and Art & Design, along with the school’s chapter of SkillsUSA, have partnered together to provide a helping hand to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at the John B. Amos Cancer Center.

The ACAD and SkillsUSA students curated care packages - which include soft blankets and cozy socks to provide warmth and solace during lengthy and tiring chemotherapy sessions.
