Bags Donated for Cancer Patients
December 05, 2022For the sixth year, Penny Evans, an independent consultant with Thirty-One Gifts, asked customers and friends to sponsor bags and businesses to donate personal care items for cancer patients at VCU Health Community Memorial Hospital. Penny, her husband Sep, and son Jonathon Evans were able to facilitate 200 bags donated to patients at the Hendrick Cancer Center and the Solari Radiation Therapy Center.
Teresa R. Collins, RN, BSN, OCN, director of radiation and medical oncology, says these items help patients through their journey.
“These bags will go to new patients with a cancer diagnosis undergoing treatment, whether it’s radiation or chemo,” she said. “It’s fantastic that the Evans family organizes this donation each year. Our patients really appreciate everything in the bags. It’s heartwarming how much our community cares.”
Penny Evans expressed her gratitude to all the people who had a hand in this project.
“We had a great turnout this year,” Evans said. “I really appreciate the community sponsoring bags, businesses donating items and making this possible.”
The bags were filled with pill boxes, tissues, digital thermometers, pens, notepads, pocket calendars, lotion, change pouches, drink koozies, cancer cookbooks, lash serums, hand sanitizer, lip balm and Gideon New Testament Bibles. Their business partners were Jessica Tudor, Independent Mary Kay Consultant; Benchmark Bank, Nicole Young; First Citizens Bank, Tammy Manning; Citizens Bank & Trust, Lindsey Page & Krystle Connell; Microtel South Hill, Jon Evans; New 2 U Consignments, Mary Edmonds; Touchstone Bank, Ashley Lipscomb; Virginia Pallets & Wood, Daven Lucy; VCU Health CMH; Younique, Emily Warren; and John & Patty Evans.
