Please Consider Donating Some of the Following Items (New) for Adult Men and Women

CHEMO CARE TOTE BAGS
Tricia’s Troops Cancer Connection is seeking a variety of items for our
Chemo Care Tote Bags. The items listed have been carefully selected to provide comfort, relief,
relaxation and inspiration to new patients facing the fears and uncertainty of chemotherapy treatment. Volunteers compile these items into tote bags and deliver them to local cancer centers to remind
patients they are thought of, cared for and never alone on their journey.

·  Throw blankets (preferably fleece) – Patients often get cold during treatment
