Jubilee Children Ministries Donates to Help Kids Fighting Cancer

The Jubilee Children Ministries in Oak Brook, IL recently gave back to children and teens fighting cancer by donating 20 American Girl dolls, compact mirrors, sketchbooks, art supplies, and children's toys to benefit the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. Jubilee Children Ministries' mission is to provide funding and supplies to organizations that serve, protect, and better the lives of children. Jubilee also assists families and adults.

They are in our daily thoughts and prayers. We are very grateful to be able to work with the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation, by sharing toys and items that provide comfort and brighten the days of the children and teens.”

We are truly blessed to have the support of the Jubilee Children Ministries.”
