Blackwood residents Carlee Mott, 8, and her 3-year-old sister, Nola Keys, were two of dozens of Kennedy Family Health Services pediatric patients who received free book bags yesterday as part of its “Helping Hands to Health” back-to-school book bag giveaway.

Book bags containing school supplies for kids from pre-K to high school were distributed to patients at both Kennedy Family Health Services locations (Somerdale Square and Washington Township, NJ) during Monday’s kick-off event.

A total of 400 book bags are available through the program, which runs through Aug. 31.
