How It Makes A Difference
After spending a long day at the hospital by their child's side, families appreciate coming back to a warm meal at our House. When dealing with a child™s illness, often times families do not have the time or energy to prepare a healthy meal for themselves. With the help from our Meals with Love volunteers, you can support our families by providing them with a delicious and healthy home cooked meal that will be ready for them when they return from long days at the hospital.
