Ever find yourself thinking…goodness, what’s an easy way for me to give back? Well, we have an easy answer for you! We have a wishlist where you can buy tangible supplies for upcoming programs!
On the wishlist, you can see supplies that will be used in future programs and how many of each of those supplies we’ll need. Then, you take it from there! Able to buy a single item, awesome, THANK YOU! Able to buy several things, awesome, THANK YOU! Everything purchased from the wishlist will be sent to a young adult facing cancer while they take part in a program. You’ll have supplied everything they need for the craft, art, or activity while they experience a supportive community and learn to thrive through cancer.
