SOUPer Hero Snack Kits for Connor's Heroes
Beneficiary: Connor's Heroes
Purpose: Founded in 2006 as a salute to Connor Goodwin, who triumphed after 2-1/2 years of cancer treatment as a preschooler, Connor's Heroes is named after Connor and in honor of the heroes who supported his family throughout his treatment. Today, Connor's Heroes is a Richmond, Virginia-based nonprofit dedicated to helping families in Central Virginia cope with childhood cancer and our community's researchers conquer it. Connor's Heroes currently serves over 120 cancer heroes in active treatment who are diagnosed or treated at Children's Hospital of Richmond.
These SOUPer Hero snack kits will provide comfort and nourishment to families experiencing an inpatient stay at the hospital. These kits will be available in the Connor's Heroes Family Room, located on the 12th floor at CHoR. It is estimated that two out of five families experience food insecurity during a hospital stay. We are grateful for your support to ensure that caregivers have access to food to fully engage in their child's care.
We ask each volunteer to prepare 3 SOUPer Hero Snack Kits with an encouraging note.
