Send sunshine to those who need it most
Delivering Sunshine is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the mental and physical health of those around us.
When receiving care in a facility, hospital or unable to leave home, we don't always have access to basic needs like a toothbrush or deodorant.
Whether you are unable to visit or are in another town, our care packages allow you to send a practical and thoughtful gift to show someone you care.
Each care package is handmade and includes a personalized message from the sender. The packages have been carefully developed based on research, age specific needs and hospital / care facility appropriate items.

Diverse & Inclusive
Providing products that are diverse and inclusive is important to us. You will notice that many of our small business owners are diverse in nature.
Eco-Friendly
We love the environment and are doing our part by providing products that limit waste and/or made from materials that can be reused or recycled.

Every product has been selected to support both the mental and physical health. Although hospital food has come along way, its nice to have some healthy alternative snacks.
We strive to provide products that are allergy friendly (nut & gluten free).
For allergies or restricted diets, please read packaging or check in with a physician prior to consuming.

Made with milk, sweetened with a touch honey for a smoothie that even picky eaters enjoy.
