Home » Ways to Serve » Care Package Drive
Reaching out to cancer patients is initially done by sending them a care package. These are full of helpful items as well as spiritual material. Your school, small group, business, university, youth group, church, Sunday school class, etc, could participate in a care package drive. By using the list below, these items could be purchased and donated to Phil's Friends in order to help us continue with our care package ministry.
We also would encourage your group to make homemade cards which are included in each care package. These are extremely meaningful to the cancer patients.
Approved Care Package Items
All items must be new.
