On Tuesday, December 16th from 2-6 pm we
will celebrate the holiday season through a special program called Strength Through Sharing. The goal of this effort
is to support underserved cancer patients in Boston's inner-city communities by sharing with them gift bags filled with
small comforts.
At our Newton facility, we will be preparing gift bags for 100 adult patients
currently in treatment for cancer. The bags will be filled with cards, food, bath and body products, clothing, and other useful
items for everyday living. We would like to invite you to join us in reaching out to underserved adults with
cancer by helping us fill our holiday gifts bags, either through financially donating to the program or by providing beneficial
items that will bring comfort, warmth, and joy to those receiving them.
Oftentimes, at the
holiday season, there is great attention given to children. While those efforts are extremely important, our intent is to
support adults living with cancer and let them know that they are not alone. Strength Through Sharing offers participants
of TWC-GB a positive focus as they help others who-in addition to having cancer-may be impoverished, alone, or just in need
of some holiday cheer.
If you have any questions or would like to help in some way,
please contact Shanna Fuller at 617-332-1919 or email sfuller@wellnesscommunity.org.
