CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - The 3rd annual Baby it’s Cold Outside event kicked off Saturday at the Osage Centre in Cape Girardeau.
The event was hosted by the Show Me Care Bags, an organization who prepares and delivers care bags to cancer patients in Missouri hospitals.
Show Me Care Bags Founder Jennifer Preston said it is important to help out cancer victims and let them know they have someone that cares about them.
“Cancer can be lonely, especially in a COVID room. You can be sitting in a room by yourself or you just got a diagnosis that is stunning to you,” Preston said. “It’s not discriminate. Cancer can hit anyone at any time. Patients just need something that tells them someone is thinking of them.”
