"Raise Them Up" Semi-Annual Snack Collections
When Raymond was getting his cancer treatment at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, he noticed there was a need for some "good" snacks for the patients. Raymond and his family started collecting snacks and Kroger gift cards to dole out to the kids and their families. The Ray of Light Foundation is continuing those collections semi-annually.
How To Donate
During the snack collection dates, we will post an Amazon Wish List link where you can easily purchase items and have them shipped directly to us. Alternatively, if you live in the Franklin/Middle Tennessee area, we will have several physical drop-off locations available. If you are unable to donate, you can still help us by sharing the flyers and social media images when posted.

**It’s easy to contribute!** Just click on the Amazon link above, choose your snacks, and they’ll be sent directly to the Ray of Light Foundation. We’ll handle the delivery to the hospital.
Although we hold our "Raise Them Up" Snack Collection Twice each year, donations are welcome year round. If you are unable to participate during one of our scheduled collection events, you can purchase snacks from our Amazon Wish List at any time, and they will be delivered directly to us.
Thank you so much for your support!
“Raise Them Up” Semiannual Snack Collection
We need your help to restock the snack closet on the Oncology floor at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. Last week, we learned that their snack supplies are running low. This initiative, started by my son Raymond during his treatment, continues to bring comfort and joy to the children and their families.
While receiving cancer treatment at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, Raymond recognized how much a comforting snack could mean to children and families spending long days away from home. Together, Raymond and his family began collecting individually packaged snacks and Kroger gift cards to share with fellow patients and their loved ones. Today, the Ray of Light Foundation is honored to continue Raymond’s legacy of kindness through our “Raise Them Up” Snack Collection, held twice each year in his memory.
This is also a *wonderful event for schools, organizations, or churches* to participate in as a group! If your group is interested, we’d be thrilled to provide literature or help you get started with your own snack collection fundraiser.
Let’s come together to make a difference and brighten the days of these young patients. Every contribution counts!
