Family Dinners

FedEx Family House Dinners
On the second Thursday of the month, the Forrest Spence Fund serves the families staying at the FedEx Family House a meal. The families staying at the house have a child that is critically or chronically ill and being treated at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. These families live at least 30 miles from Le Bonheur so commuting back and forth to the hospital is not an option.

Next FedEx House Dinner is scheduled for December 8.  

Le Bonheur Dinners 
Four times a year the Forrest Spence Fund serves the families at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital a meal. Any family member of a patient can come enjoy a hot meal and be served by our wonderful volunteers.

Next Le Bonheur Hospital dinners are scheduled for November 22 and December 19.

If you are interested in being a volunteer at one of these dinners, please contact Donna at donna@forrestspencefund.com.
