Edinburg, TX- 05/28/2014- The Renaissance Cancer Foundation would like to thank H-E-B for their generous contribution of $5,000.00 that will go towards purchasing groceries and household items for local cancer patients through our new service line: We will be offering nutritional care packages in our effort to promote healthy eating habits that lead to a healthy life for cancer patients and their families.
Through this program, our goal is to serve local residents with the help of H-E-B and Morrison. We would like to encourage patients to participate in this new service line, so that they can achieve better eating habits and a healthy living.
The nutritional care package will include fifteen (15), Spanish and English, easy to prepare recipes using a maximum of five (5) food items as well as, the food items to prepare these meals for a whole family, and household cleaning items valued at $250.00.
