Holiday Care Kits
The winter holidays can sometimes be a difficult time for the care community. But we're thinking of you and want to remind you that you're supported and cared for this holiday season. You can sign up to receive a Holiday Care Kit! Holiday Care Kits include items for personal care, fun, entertainment, warmth, treats, self-care and more. Our hope is that this little package of goodies reminds you that your Fed Family is thinking of you and sending you love.
With the help of our Fed Family, we sent out over 500 kits last year!
