We want to thank you all for your support for families in this challenging time. Because of our amazing donors and volunteers, we have been able to provide over 75 meals to the Pediatric and NICU units and over 70 nights of lodging at hotels for parents with hospitalized children! We are so grateful for your continued support to our mission and families.
I look forward to seeing you back in the kitchen soon!
