SPARROW HOSPITAL – LANSING
Our Sparrow Care Package Program was established on May 6, 2015 and was the Princess Alli Foundation’s first project! By the end of December 2015 we had provided 1740 meal and snack bags to Sparrow! As of December 2018, more than 8,000 care packages have been donated to mid-Michigan families thanks to our amazing sponsors! Our weekly deliveries to Sparrow ended in March of 2020.
We are currently supporting families at Sparrow (now UofM Sparrow) by providing meal vouchers for use in the Cafe, Starbucks gift cards, phone chargers and other needed supplies on a monthly basis. We also keep the Child Life team well-stocked with twin-size mattress pads, which they provide to families with long-term stays.
HELEN DEVOS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL – GRAND RAPIDS
In 2016, Princess Alli Foundation was grateful for the opportunity to expand its care package support to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI!
Our goal for DeVos was to create a sustainable program that will allow us to provide toiletry care packages to families with children at the hospital that may have arrived with little or no personal belongings. With the help of our family, friends, and generous corporate sponsors we were able to make our first delivery to HDVCH on February 17, 2016!
We are currently providing toiletry care packages to DeVos on an as-needed basis, and are happy to send food supplies to Renucci House to support long-term families. We’re eager to find additional ways to help families in the Grand Rapids area.
BRONSON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL – KALAMAZOO
On June 28, 2016, Princess Alli Foundation was able to expand Toiletry Care Package Service to Bronson Children’s Hospital in Kalamazoo, MI!
Generous donations from the greater Marshall/Battle Creek area allowed for this expansion to Bronson ahead of schedule and we are soo, soo grateful!
Deliveries to Bronson ended in March of 2020. We’d love to find more ways to assist the families of Kalamazoo when their program allows.
HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER – FLINT, MI
Princess Alli Foundation was excited for the opportunity to partner with Hurley Medical Center to provide Toiletry Care Packages to families at their Children’s Hospital! Our first care package delivery was made on July 9, 2016!
Generous donations from the communities of Flint and Flushings, including families at Flushings United Methodist Church, have made this expansion possible!
Regular deliveries to Hurley ended in March 2020.
MOTT’S CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL (UofM) – ANN ARBOR, MI
On March 12, 2018 – Alli’s 4th birthday – we made our first Care Package delivery to C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI! Happy, happy birthday sweet Allison!
Our goal for Mott’s was to create a sustainable program that will allow us to provide toiletry care packages to families with children at the hospital that may have arrived with little or no personal belongings. However, regular deliveries of care packages to Mott’s ended in March of 2020.
We currently support the families at Mott’s by providing twin-size mattress pads for parents with long-term stays.
