BALTIMORE, MD April 28, 2020 — To show their gratitude for the men and women working on the front lines of the local healthcare system, Goetze’s Candy Company, Inc., donated caramel sweets to staffers at seven Maryland hospitals. The “Ounce of Joy” project was named for the donation of Cow Tales®, each weighing one ounce, to healthcare teams at GBMC, MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center, University of Maryland Medical Center, MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital, MedStar Union Memorial Hospital, the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center, and Gilchrist.
