The Federation of Social Workers and the Department of Human Services raised $2,000 for the American Cancer Society by taking part in Daffodil Days. FSW members and DHS employees received daffodils in appreciation for their contributions. The proceeds will allow the American Cancer Society to help people stay healthy with tips, tools, and resources to help them take steps to reduce their risk of cancer.
