CLI has been working on a couple of projects this year to help support our community. One was a food drive and the second one was donating our product Kickstarting Wellness to St. Louis Ovarian Cancer Association (SLOCA).
Help can come in many forms and these are some of the ways we are choosing to support our community. We wanted to share this with you to inspire you to help others too! Spreading kindness is always a great thing to do.
Kickstarting Wellness was created in teal to help support ovarian cancer patients but they are created for anyone!! We have donated 200 copies of Kickstarting Wellness for SLOCA to add to their sister boxes. They prepare 200 sister boxes in the summer to give out to women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer throughout the year. The box has different items in it like a water bottle, hat, and other items to help them on their journey. I thought the wellness journal would be a nice addition to the boxes for the ladies newly diagnosed.
Those of you that know me know that my mom is a two time survivor of ovarian cancer. You can hear about the journal that was donated as well as my moms story of survival on my YouTube channel. You can help by purchasing a copy of kickstarting wellness. Every copy that is bought a portion of the proceeds will go to SLOCA. Let's meet our goal of donating 1,000 dollars. I hope we get to donate hundreds of thousands though!
For two years in a row, the CLI community has come together to donate food to a local food pantry. They were overcome with joy with the donations we brought to them. Thank you to those who help us. We have plans to make it bigger and better next year.
