Care(Giver) Packages
Hope-in-a-Box (or bag!) for caregivers who are always giving to everyone else.
At The Apricity Hope Project, we believe a little hope can go a long way—especially for families navigating the challenges of raising medically complex children. That’s why we’ve created three types of care packages designed to provide comfort, encouragement, and practical support when it’s needed most.
New in 2025: We are updating our Care(Giver) Package Program!
Hospital Go-Bags: A Lifeline for PICU Families
Our hospital go-bags are thoughtfully curated for parents spending long, emotional days in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Each bag is filled with items that provide comfort, hygienic and logistical supports for caregivers who are bedside. We include essentials like toiletries, snacks, cozy items, grounding tools, and a touch of encouragement to help parents care for themselves while caring for their child. These bags are donation-based, making community support critical to delivering this lifeline of comfort and care.
NICU Grad Bags: Welcoming with Hope
Graduating from the NICU with a medically complex baby is a momentous milestone—filled with both joy and uncertainty. It is important to welcome these moms and dads into their new form of parenthood with joy, hope and love. Our NICU grad bags celebrate this transition, providing parents with helpful items , practical resources, and uplifting notes to honor their journey and support the road ahead.
Seasonal Hope Mail: Kindness in Every Box
Random acts of kindness never go out of style. Our seasonal hope mail delivers unexpected joy to moms and dads across the country who could use a reminder that they’re not alone. These boxes are packed with love, hope, and items to brighten anyone’s day. Be on the look out for our application on social media!
How can you help?
Host a Hope Drive
The heart of these care packages comes from the generosity of people like you. Hosting a hope drive is an easy way to make a big difference! Gather friends, family, or coworkers to collect “ingredients” for our bags—items like travel-sized toiletries, journals, snacks, or cozy socks. We’ll provide you with a list of items and all the support you need to get started. Contact us (or email hello@apricityhope.org) to connect today!
Corporate Partnerships: Be a Business of Hope
Businesses and corporate donors play a vital role in keeping our care package program thriving. Your company can help by donating supplies, sponsoring bag assemblies, or even covering shipping costs for our Seasonal Hope Mail. Partnering with The Apricity Hope Project isn’t just about giving back; it’s about creating a ripple effect of kindness and compassion in our community. Contact us (or email hello@apricityhope.org) to connect today!
Why it matters:
For families in the NICU, PICU, or navigating life with medical complexities, these packages are more than just bags—they’re a reminder that someone cares. Every single item, every note of encouragement, and every ounce of hope inside speaks volumes to these parents: You are seen. You are loved. You are not alone.
Help us deliver that message. Together, we can make the journey a little lighter for the families who need it most.
