The Care Packages Program is designed to deliver both physical and emotional support to pediatric cancer patients by providing thoughtfully curated packages that address their unique needs during treatment.
During special events, volunteers participate in hands-on package assembly, sorting items by age group, ensuring balanced contents, and adhering to hygiene protocols to prevent contamination.

Request & Fulfillment Process
Families, caregivers, or hospital social workers can submit a request on behalf of a patient.
Once a request is approved, a dedicated team of volunteers are assigned to the fulfillment.
Chapter Mobilization
Chapters engage in various fundraising activities, both online and in their local communities, to secure the funds needed to purchase the requested items.
This includes details about the patient, their age, their specific diagnosis (to help with safety considerations), and a description of their "dream gift."
To accommodate varying circumstances, such as remote locations or home-based care, completed packages are distributed in person to partnering hospitals or mailed directly to families.
