September directs our attention to Childhood Cancer Awareness. Leukemias, which are cancers of the bone marrow and blood, are the most common childhood cancers. They account for about 28% of all cancers in children. If you have a child affected by cancer and are in need of assistance please contact one of our care coordinators.

The return to school this year may look very different in many households.
We're working to provide students with supplies. We have been able to provide laptops and Wi-Fi in some homes to make virtual learning possible. Your donation can assist domestic violence shelters and homes as well as cancer affected households.

The Grateful pouch is filled with essential items including hand sanitizer, gloves, tissues, face mask and a personalized note. This is a great way to say Thank You to a caregiver or provide a special item for someone in need.
The kids fun pouch is filled with activity, puzzle and reading books, crayons, youth face mask and hand sanitizer wipes to be taken to appointments or help with on the go needs.
The LOL Project
Letters of Love
The LOL Project
Letters of Love
This very popular outreach was started in 2017 as a way for our supporters to CONNECT with the people we service. The LOL project is a way to share personal handwritten notes of encouragement to be included in our care totes. This is a fun way to spend some free time and has often become a project for families and groups. You may send us your selection of handwritten notes or we'll ship you a kit with note cards and stationary to complete and mail back to us.
