We announced on Sunday an upcoming Relief Society Quarterly Activity on June 2nd. We will share all the details on Sunday! One part of the activity will be collecting and creating Chemo care kits for kids. I've attached the document that explains the type of items we need donated. We will have a collection box on Sunday and for the next few weeks. Thank you for your continued support!
TIPS
For each kit include: five Items to Help with Side Effects plus one activity and/or comfort item.
Buy travel-sized items.
Plan to budget approximately $1 for each item. The comfort and activity items seem to range in price from $3-$5. Most kits put together cost: $8-$12.
Focus each kit for a specific group (age range and gender: boy, girl, or either)
Make sure all the items in each kit are age appropriate for the same age range. (For example: cozy size 1 Spiderman slippers would be a mix-match with nail care kit.)
Items to Help with Side Effects (include 5 or more of the following)
□ Tissues
□ Mints
□ Lemon drops or Lemonheads
□ Gum
□ Ring pops
□ Fragrance-free lotion
□ Two sets of plastic utensils (highly recommended—Best ones from IKEA)
□ Hand sanitizer (for family members to use)
□ Lip balm
□ Antibacterial hand wipes
Comfort Items (include 1 of the following)
□ Soft socks, slippers, or hat
□ Washable, cuddly item
□ Blanket or pillow case

Chemo Care Kits for Kids will help with managing side effects from chemotherapy and in providing needed distractions for kids and their families during this stressful time. These items have been “Mom approved” by REAL moms that are currently helping their children conquer cancer.
