Individuals who knit or sew can contribute special items for our care packages. Port pillows are small pillows that attach to a car seat belt to protect chemo ports. For a pattern, click here: http://mytaylormade.blogspot.com/2013/07/breast-cancer-port-pillows-tutorial.html


We also put handmade knit hats in our care packages. Please use soft yarn and avoid bulky seams.

You can mail or drop off completed projects to Lemons of Love Cancer Resource Center 406 W Central Rd, Mt Prospect, IL 60056.

About LEMONS OF LOVE INC

Location:

433 East Golf Road, Des Plaines, IL 60016, US

Mission Statement

It’s our mission to share love with those impacted by cancer through personalized care packages, free programs and ongoing support.

Description

Lemons of Love was created in 2014 when Jill Swanson was diagnosed with colon cancer. As she began chemotherapy, a friend gave Jill a small gift with items to help her through treatment. Inspired, Jill began her own little lemonade project of filling and sharing thoughtfully selected items with others in treatment.

Today, Lemons of Love is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that delivers care packages to hospitals and oncology centers and provides personalized care packages for individuals with a donation. We offer free programs for anyone impacted by cancer at our Mount Prospect, Illinois location and provide one-on-one family support at our building in Plymouth, Wisconsin. Both locations allow us to welcome our community to support our mission.
