Donation opportunity

Spreading Sunshine serves families that are in crisis- specifically due to pediatric illness. One of the ways we serve them is by providing meals to families that are in the hospital or in treatment to help lighten the load.

Spreading Sunshine serves about 75 prepackaged meals a month to families in local hospitals or housing. They also deliver meals to local families in need who live in Memphis that have been referred by social workers from Le Bonheur and St. Jude. They are looking for restaurants that will donate meals and are very flexible regarding timing, amounts given, and schedule. Please reach out to us if you're interested in helping.
