Earlier this month I dropped of 42 Food Bags at the University of Virgina Children’s Hospital to be distributed to our Heart Families while they sit next to their Heart Kid’s bedside.
This is what 42 food bags looks like in the back of our truck!

As you may know, we depend in large part on donations from our generous supporters to continue to thrive. We are currently launching a fund drive and have partnered with an organization called “Saving Dinner” to help us reach our goals while providing you with a valuable service at the same time. Will you help us?
Here’s the scoop:
We wanted to do something different — something that supports the health of our members, families, and larger community — rather than the usual fundraising fare of chocolate bars, cookies, T-shirts, trinkets, etc.
While we were looking for a way to accomplish this, we discovered a unique company called Saving Dinner. Their mission is to bring families back to the dinner table, one meal at a time. Saving Dinner’s innovative meal planning products help you answer the dreaded question: What’s for dinner?
How it works is that Saving Dinner does the “heavy lifting” of meal planning for you by providing healthy and delicious recipes that the whole family will love — PLUS complete meal plans, shopping lists, tips for whittling-down prep time, and more. I think you’re going to LOVE how they help make meal time a time-saving pleasure rather than a chore.
For every product that you buy from Saving Dinner, we get a full 60%, so everyone benefits.
And, one of the best parts is that because the menu planning products are digital, your package will be emailed to you immediately upon purchase so you can start putting them to use right away! (No fancy software is required to view the menus. The format is simple PDF.)

Full Story »Mended Little Hearts Making Food Bags for Heart Families
Mended Little Hearts of Charlottesville’s main purpose is to really focus on inpatient families at UVa. I have met very few families who live locally, most of the families we meet are from several hours away. The past couple of months we have been leaving food at the hospital and trying to figure out which [...]
