When your child has cancer, you still need to eat...

With support of Pinky Swear Pantry, several on-site hospital food pantries, families can stay near their sick child as well as ease the financial cost of food for single-day and extended-stay treatments.

How can you support the Pinky Swear Pantry?

If you are looking to host or support a food drive, volunteer to deliver and stock food, or purchase necessary supplies, please email our pantry coordinator at karen.liu@pinkyswear.org.
