FOOD FOR FAMILIES
FOOD FOR FAMILIES helps alleviate the daily stress and cost of meals for family members during their child’s hospital stay. The expense of eating in cafeterias or ordering food to be delivered can be overwhelming to a family dealing with extensive medical bills and cost related to their child’s treatment. Additionally, children with cancer are often too sick or young to allow a parent to leave their hospital room to get a meal. FOOD FOR FAMILIES filled Pantry and meals delivered provides food so parents don’t have to worry about having cash in order to eat.
The FOOD FOR FAMILIES program is not simply providing meals as an end in itself. Removing the need to worry about where every meal is coming from provides stability and freedom from financial stress for these families going through this already tremendously stressful treatment. You or your Company can sponsor a weekly meal, snacks, or help fill the pantry. For more information contact angelica@kidsbeatingcancer.com or phone Angelica at 407-894-2888
