The Valentine's Day LOVE Bags 4 Cancer Donation & Delivery Event Highlight
02/14/2024
February 2023, Valentine's Day LOVE Bags 4 Cancer Donation & Delivery Day at University of Kansas Medical Center Cancer Unit
McClellan says Giving Hope and Help originally began as a nonprofit to support domestic violence survivors. In 2015, they expanded to include giving gift bags to cancer patients on Valentine’s Day in honor of her late niece who had received care and treatment for cancer here. She says giving the gift bags and talking to patients gives her a feeling of enlightenment and is inspiring, adding it is a blessing to know she’s making someone else feel better. McClellan shows us the contents of a gift bag, which includes handmade scarves, socks, journals, inspirational books, hand lotion and other items.
Chloe Abenes, volunteer services coordinator, says McClellan and her staff bring so much joy to our patients during what can be a difficult time for them.
