COMMUNITY

Bringing Good People Together For A Great Cause 

Our Community Helps us Make the Mattie Miracles Happen

  • Community support and volunteers are the life blood of Mattie Miracle. Without your support, time, and devotion to our cause we would be unable to operate and keep the miracles happening for many children with cancer and their families. 

  • Mattie Miracle sponsors a free snack and item cart at Children's Hospital at Sinai (Baltimore, MD), two carts at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital (Washington, DC), and one cart at the Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD). These Carts rotate around the pediatric outpatient and inpatient units three times a week. Our carts offer families of patients snacks (both nutritious and treats) and toiletry items that are needed for day to day existence in the hospital.

  • Families look forward to seeing the snack & item carts and greet the carts with excitement, appreciation, and thanks. When living in a hospital 24 hours a day, seven days a week and caring for a child who is ill, receiving such items can feel like a gift.
