Our Annapolis Pediatrics staff was out this weekend and during the week donating the Thanksgiving meal boxes to SPAN, Inc. and Feed A Family that our staff collected and put together, volunteering their time to help with packing/sorting/loading and donating meals directly to the homes of families in our community. ❤️

We are thankful for so many reasons - for our patients and their families, for our AP staff and for the many community organizations caring for families and children all year long.
