High-quality, locally-sourced care packages for all.
Free for the cancer community.
Seriously. And it's totally something that is not taught to us as children. What does mindful self-care even mean?
Now imagine a cancer diagnosis. A cancer diagnosis makes self-care even harder.
Tend to You is here to help.
Our care packages are like self-care kits, featuring high-quality products from small businesses that really care.
Tend to You is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization founded in June 2020 and located in Worcester County, Massachusetts. Tend to You is founded by Ellie McDonald, a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed at age 24.
Ellie’s mission for Tend to You is to provide locally-sources care packages that contain goods and services from small businesses. These care packages encourage self-care and are designed for anyone to benefit from, especially the cancer community.
In fact, one additional care package is donated to a member of the cancer community for every two we sell!
Tend to You sources goods and services from small businesses only, assembles a care package, and then ships it out to the receiver. We hope that these gifts from the earth and from the heart will prove to lift spirits, help patrons to be mindful, and provide a community of support for each and every person involved.
We are founded by Ellie McDonald, who is currently in remission.

"I was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 24 Turning to whatever I could, I found light in mindfulness practices. I became hyper aware of the ingredients in my food and beauty products, and I noticed my nutrition, sleeping, and exercise habits. I tuned in to me, Ellie, and made her my number one priority."
Now that she is on the other end of treatment, Ellie wants to help others through the process the best she can. That’s how she thought of Tend to You inc., "as a way to provide support to others feeling as lost as I was."
We are here, motivated, and ready to help both small businesses and the local cancer community, while teaching about self-care.
Your contributions will enable us to fulfill our partnerships with local vendors assemble care packages. Tend to You is 501(c)(3) certified as of 2020 and all donations are tax-deductible.
Have we mentioned we love community?!
We are open to connecting, partnering, collaborating, and moving towards a higher collective.

A care package from Tend contains only high-quality, locally-sourced, hand-picked items and activities.
These packages help the cancer community to show love, manage treatment side effects, and learn about mindful self-care, throughout and beyond treatment.
Our care packages are completely sourced from only small businesses.
Every care package shop comes with access to our Online Wellness Activity Portal. This includes yoga and nutrition videos, plus a ranking system that allows for you to find an activity perfect for whatever energy level you currently feel.
We want self-care to be accessible to all, especially during a time of cancer diagnosis. If you are currently undergoing treatment for a cancer diagnosis or a care giver, you are eligible to receive a care package for free. More info TBA.
