As the holidays approach and new patients keep coming, we are in need of items for our "Welcome" baskets -- individually wrapped snacks and drinks, personal toiletries, and baking supplies. Volunteers tailor the baskets to each new patient, and take out the baskets on their first visit. Can you spare a few items from your next shopping trip? Please consider donating items off of our Wish List!
