This is our third visit to Siteman this year. After these 300 care packages are made it will bring our total to 1000 care packages delivered to St. Louis Metro area cancer patients in 2017. We currently provide care packages through Siteman Cancer Center, St. Louis University Hospital Radiation Unit, Oncology and Infusion Center at Alton Memorial Hospital BJC, OSF St. Anthony’s Radiation Center, the William Billhartz Cancer Center at Anderson Hospital, St’ Louis Children’s Hospital and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital Costas Cancer Center SSM.

We are only able to fulfill our mission of helping as many are cancer patients as we can through the selfless hard work of our volunteers and the generosity of our donors and sponsors.
