In September 2022, Rally for Reid made a $60,000 donation to start the Food for Families program on Level 11 — the Oncology floor at Stead Family Children’s Hospital.
This program will provide funds so that each inpatient parent/guardian can order a meal with their child through food and nutrition each night they are inpatient. This will allow families to share dinner together every night and hopefully provide some normalcy during treatment.
Parents won’t have to leave their child’s room to go looking for dinner or skip a meal to stay with their child. More family time, more normalcy, and one less burden on families who are already facing so many hardships.
This donation will provide 4,380 dinners for families, which should cover families for a year. With continued support, we hope to continue funding this program for years to come.
