FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Relay for Life Queens will be sponsoring a pantry/paper product drive through Sept. 24. This drive is for the pantry on the oncology floor at Children’s Hospital and for Hope Lodge in Birmingham.September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and the Relay Queens would like to ask for support in stocking the pantry on the Oncology Floor at Children’s Hospital. This pantry is available to family members who may not be able to leave their child to go eat. Popcorn, snack crackers and snack cakes, single serving chips, granola bars, Pop-Tarts, fruit cups and juice pouches will be accepted, but no refrigerated items.

The paper products will be going to Hope Lodge. Hope Lodge is facility provided by the American Cancer Society for cancer patients receiving treatment at a hospital in Birmingham. After the Relay Queens visited Hope Lodge, they saw that paper plates, cups, paper towels and toilet paper would greatly help the residents there.  These items would be available for all residents to have access to and they would not have to worry about bringing these items when they come to stay.

Donations may be dropped off at Shear Perfection and Fresenius Kidney Care in Clanton, or given to any Relay Queen or Sunny Mays.

The Relay Queens would like to thank donors for their continued support of Relay For Life and the Fight For A Cure.
