Orange Out’s hospital outreach helps families staying with their children on the Oncology floor at DFW Area Hospitals. Visits take place every Wednesday, delivering snack bags, drinks and occasionally, stuffed animals or toys for the children. The snack bags contain five separate food items. Outreach visits provide the chance to build relationships with these families by talking and praying with those who so allow.
If you would like donate items for the snack bags, make cards for the snack bags, help make snack bags or host a snack bag stuffing party please fill out the following form. Please mark at least 2 dates you would like as we do not want to waste snack bags.
