Donate Items to our PALS Pak Program
A “PALS Pak” is a canvas tote bag filled with items meant to bring comfort, support, and practical help during surgery, treatment, or recovery. Typical contents include things like blankets or pillows (for comfort), reading materials (both informational — about cancer/treatment — and inspirational), lotions, teas, perhaps gentle lip balm/lotion, coloring books or journals, soothing items, etc.
The specific items are selected based on feedback from survivors, aiming to meet real needs that people often have when dealing with diagnosis and treatment. Participation in PALS mentor program is optional — the “pak” is offered to everyone who attends a “Breast Cancer or Gynecologic Cancer 101” session. Those who want can also connect with a peer mentor.
