First Lady Spreads Easter Cheer To Workers During Pandemic

WASHINGTON (AP) — Melania Trump is spreading some colorful Easter cheer to workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic. With the annual White House Easter Egg Roll canceled due to concerns about large gatherings, the first lady is giving 25,000 commemorative wooden eggs to area children's hospitals, federal agencies, aid groups and grocery store chains. The pastel-colored eggs would have been handed out to participants in the egg roll on April 13, the day after Easter. The eggs are being delivered Wednesday and Thursday to Children’s National Hospital, the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services, the American Red Cross and local grocery store chains as a “small token of appreciation” for those serving the public, her office said. Earlier Wednesday, the first lady released a brief video message thanking medical professionals and others on the front lines of the response to the virus. “It is because of you that the people of America are receiving the care and treatment they need,” she says in the video on behalf of herself and President Donald Trump.Read more on NewsOK.com
