Bags of Hope
We invite you to join us in our ongoing efforts to help local Families with cancer by being a part of our Bags of Hope Program. When an individual is going through cancer treatment, it takes a toll on both their physical and emotional health. With the help of supporters like you, we can provide individuals undergoing cancer treatment with a bag of Unexpected Amazingness to brighten their day. Think of your Bags of Hope as “Get Well Soon” packages containing items that will help individuals get through their treatments.
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to participate in Bringing Hope Home’s Bags of Hope Program.

While individuals are more than welcome to do this project, we encourage you to form a team of people to help assemble your bags. This project is a great team-building opportunity!

Step 3: Assemble your Bags of Hope
Your Bags of Hope items will be shipped to the contact person and address provided for you and your team to assemble. Shipping typically takes 5-10 business days. If you and your group would like to make personalized cards to include inside each bag, click here to download our Bags of Hope card template and print them out. Cards are meant to let individuals know that they are not alone and that they are being thought of so any kind of uplifting or inspirational message is great to write inside! You can also decorate and color the front of the card. Coordination of your Zoom call or in-person speaker will be scheduled directly with your BHH contact person for your assembly day.
Step 4: Deliver your Bags of Hope
Once your bags have been assembled, please let your contact at BHH know if you are interested in delivering your bags to BHH’s office in Malvern (641 Swedesford Rd. Malvern, PA 19355) or delivering them to a local hospital/cancer center. If you would like to deliver your bags to a local hospital that BHH partners with, we kindly ask that you hold onto your bags until BHH has made arrangements for your delivery. Delivery is coordinated with one of our referring social workers so that the bags can be shared with their individuals during their cancer treatment.
If you have any questions, please call the BHH office at 484-580-8395 or email Brieanne Repp at brieannerepp@bringinghopehome.org or CindyJaros at cindyjaros@bringinghopehome.org
