Giving Tuesday is a worldwide generosity movement that has taken place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving since 2012. With the goal of encouraging people to do good, Giving Tuesday has prompted people and organizations of all kinds to donate and give back to their communities in various ways. In 2021, Giving Tuesday raised a record $2.7 billion in the U.S. with over 35 million participants. The idea: everyone has something to give.  We at Eastern Standard Provisions recognize our responsibility to give back to our community, and it is our pleasure to continue supporting a number of organizations close to our hearts. Although we’ve been able to provide ample donations to our collaborators thus far, we hope to expand our collaborations and charitable impact. We encourage everyone to get involved in Giving Tuesday, whether you’re donating, volunteering, or otherwise supporting your community.  Our Collaborators: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® provides treatment for young people suffering from life-threatening diseases, as well as world-class medical research facilities. Beyond their reputation as superlative in pediatric cancer treatment, St. Jude’s has significantly contributed to the standard of treatments for sickle cell disease, neurological disorders, and infectious diseases. With over 120 translational research labs, St. Jude’s aims to further advance their treatments and research in hopes of securing a cure.  So far this year, our St. Jude Gift of Hope Box has generated over $60,400 in donations to St. Jude’s, which will provide 40 days of chemotherapy for leukemia patients, or 6,000 meals for patients and families. Since our founding, Eastern Standard has been able to donate a total of over $500,000 to St. Jude’s with the help of our loyal customers. As we look forward to another year of continued support to St. Jude’s, we remind our customers to join in the spirit of giving (and pretzels).

An exceedingly reputable organization, Boston Children’s has been providing advanced pediatric medical services and testing since 1869. As they face growing occupancy rates, Boston Children’s Hospital hopes to expand their Boston facilities to serve more members of the community, as well as add an ambulatory surgical center at their Needham location.  In 2022, our Boston Children’s Hospital Care For Kids Box brought about impactful donations to the hospital. In total, our donations will provide five years (260 weeks) of patient-family housing for those who need to stay local during their child’s treatment, or 100 tablet computers to get children happily through their stays. In 2023, we hope to break our record of donations to Boston Children’s Hospital.

Each year, the ACS secures treatment services and funding for over 1.4 million new patients and 14 million cancer survivors. Currently, the American Cancer Society is reaching new and exciting milestones in various types of cancer research, and hopes to augment their global cancer control work in low-income countries. Last year, our American Cancer Society® Breast Cancer Awareness Box continued to raise funds for cancer treatment and research. These donations will provide housing and accommodations for patients and their families undergoing cancer treatment throughout the country.

June 7th, 2022 This month marks our 4-year anniversary and we cannot thank our snack-loving community enough for making this milestone possible. Reflecting on the past few years, we have a lot to be proud of… but our greatest achievement of all is making a difference in the lives of others. And we couldn’t have done it without you! Eastern Standard Provisions is honored to collaborate with a variety of charitable organizations that are near and dear to the hearts of many within our team. With every charity collaboration box sold, we donate $10 to support the mission of various hospitals, foundations, and more. Let’s take a look at the impact we have had on our charities through the support of our Collaboration Boxes… St. Jude’s Research Hospital: We launched our very first charity collaboration box years ago with the support of St. Jude Research Hospital; a renowned children's hospital that treats the toughest childhood cancers and pediatric diseases.

The American Cancer Society® is leading the way with funding and conducting research, supporting patients, and spreading the word about prevention to reduce your risk of developing cancer. And with every box purchase, we have helped fund over 2 years of housing and care at Hope Lodges for a patient and their family. Hope Lodges offer patients and caregivers a place to stay during their cancer treatment. Currently, there are more than 30 Hope Lodges across the country! Boston Children’s Hospital: Last November, we teamed up with Boston Children’s Hospital to create the “Care For Kids” Box! Kids from every state and 100 countries turn to Boston Children’s, the hospital that’s cured more childhood diseases than any other and the nation’s #1 ranked children’s hospital 8 years in a row. With your help, we give lifesaving answers to kids through $31,470 and counting in donations to Boston Children’s. We help provide the following: - 3,147 meal vouchers for patient families in crisis; or - 630 packages of dye for visualizing DNA in rare disease research; or - 450 weeks of hospital parking for patient families in need; or - 3,147 sets of allergy-proof bedding to save kids with asthma from trips to the ER; or - 150 weeks of patient-family housing for those who travel far; or - 63 tablet computers to help kids endure long hospital stays Over the past few months, we’ve launched two new charity boxes: our “Strike Out Cancer” Box in partnership with Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and our “Sprinkle Good Vibes” Box in partnership with Life Is Good Kids Foundation. With your continuous support, we can make a difference in the lives of children and their families all around the country. So let’s see what we can do in the next 4 years! Thank you, The team at Eastern Standard Provisions

September 2021 St. Jude Research Hospital® is a leading children's hospital that treats the toughest childhood cancers and pediatric diseases. The mission of St. Jude is to “advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.” Since the hospital was founded over sixty years ago, not a single child has been denied treatment at St. Jude based on race, religion, or family’s ability to pay. In fact, patients never receive a medical bill throughout their entire treatment process at St. Jude. Childhood Cancer Awareness Month September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month, a time to recognize and support friends and family who have been or are currently affected by childhood cancers. A time to emphasize the importance of childhood cancer research and funding throughout the world. A time to spread positivity and hope for everyone in and outside of our lives battling these devastating conditions.  To help support St. Jude in their mission, Eastern Standard Provisions® is donating $10 of every  “Gift of Hope” Charity Box to St. Jude Research Hospital. Throughout the past year, Eastern Standard Provisions has donated $228,410 towards St. Jude and their mission to lead the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. With this donation, Eastern Standard Provisions can help St. Jude Research Hospital provide any of the following: 18 full days of inpatient treatment  151 days of chemotherapy  457 hours of physical therapy 22,841 meals for St. Jude patients We're not stopping here... Our goal is to raise $500,000 for St. Jude! Help us reach our goal HERE. With this goal, Eastern Standard Provisions can help St. Jude provide any of the following: 40 full days of inpatient treatment Deliver 50 CT scans Cover 100 days in the ICU Provide 210 ultrasound studies Provide 330 days of chemotherapy Provide 1,000 units of platelets for transfusions Support 1,000 hours of physical therapy Provide 1,110 days of oxygen for patients Provide 1,560 chest x-rays Enable 1,920 units of red blood cells for transfusions 330 days of chemotherapy to leukemia or solid tumor patients Supply 50,000 meals for St. Jude patients Provide 50,000 new toys for play areas The Story Behind “Jump For Joy” Sprinkles At St. Jude, staff members are passionate about supporting their patients' recovery process every step of the way. When patients finish their chemotherapy regimens, a process that can last two to three years, the staff at St. Jude throws a “No More Chemo” party to mark the end of chemotherapy treatment. To make this moment special, the staff sings a “No More Chemo” song and showers patients in colorful confetti! To honor this inspiring tradition, Eastern Standard Provisions has created a Jump For Joy Sprinkle that is included in our new St. Jude “Gift of Hope” charity box! While the month of September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we are dedicated to supporting St. Jude and their work all year long.
