Have a part in encouraging local cancer patients and their caregivers.
Christmas Care Packages are distributed every December. This past June, we also started delivering Hope Bags to cancer patients, since June is National Cancer Survivor Month.
Currently, care packages are distributed to patients and caregivers in NE Tennessee, SW Virginia, and at the City of Hope Cancer Center in GA.
A little comfort, thoughtfully given.
Care packages are an opportunity to turn everyday items into a gesture of kindness.

Ideas for giving items
These are starting points for a thoughtful care package. Check what is needed before buying or donating. (Items must be new. Used or like-new items will not be accepted.)
Something cozy
Consider soft socks or a comfortable blanket—simple items that can bring a sense of warmth.
Something to do
A blank notebook, puzzle book, or other quiet activity may offer a welcome moment of distraction.
Something personal
A handwritten note or simple card can make every care package feel more personal and heartfelt.
Before you gather items
Please confirm current needs, whether particular items can be used, and how a contribution can be handed over before making plans. This page does not list a drop-off point or promise that every suggested item can be accepted.
Thoughtful giving starts with making sure a gift is useful for the person receiving it.
Are you or someone you know fighting cancer and living in NE Tennessee or SW Virginia? Feel free to submit their name and contact information so they may receive a care package.
