The ECU Health Cancer Care team is hoping to make the holidays brighter for Cancer patients during their stay through the annual Santa’s H.O.P.E. pop-up store experience.
Santa’s Helping Oncology Patients Everywhere, or H.O.P.E., is a donation-funded event that creates a memorable holiday experience for hospital-bound adult Cancer patients as they shop for gifts for their loved ones, free of charge. Donations provide unwrapped presents for patients to choose from as they shop, sip on hot chocolate and enjoy snacks.
In years past, nurses and other team members at the Cancer Center have come together to organize the store and buy gifts with their own money for patients. This year, ECU Health is hoping to receive community support through donations so that more patients can take part and select gifts.
New, unwrapped gifts can be donated to Santa’s H.O.P.E. You can also donate monetarily through the ECU Health Foundation here.
You can also reach out to Varessa Wall with ECU Health Foundation at 252-847-8994 or by email at [email protected].
