Tend to You helps the cancer community feel seen and supported so that they can reduce stress and feel empowered through mindful selfcare. We curate and ship care packages across The United States and Canada.
Tend to You offer self-care tools for treatment and beyond, for patients, caregivers, and the entire cancer community. We serve our community through invigorating local products and self-care ideas based on navigating tough experiences. Tend empowers our cancer community via care package support and mindful self-care, while championing small businesses and artisans.
Tend to You assembles and delivers care packages for cancer patients in active treatment. These packages are bursting with high-quality, locally-sourced products made from all-natural ingredients. Through these care packages, we are hoping to help cancer patients navigate the difficulties of their journey, while also championing small-businesses.
By striving for excellence and putting caring into practice, we are confident that we can make a difference-not only for cancer patients, but for our local community as well.

Help to naturally alleviate some of the side effects of treatment, while being sensitive to your body's changing needs.
Included is a portal, with a range of activities for all types of energy levels.
It's hard to take care of yourself during a cancer diagnosis and treatment. It can take a lot of time and energy. We've been through that ourselves, so we get it. We are here to do some of the work for you.
Tend encourages the entire cancer community to embrace mindful self-care throughout and beyond treatment.
Specially curated care packages are a great way to show love and support to someone who is currently going through it, whether that be yourself or a loved one.
While our president, Ellie McDonald, was going through treatment, she wanted to find new ways to invite in feelings of self-love. She began to think of ways to spread this to others who are also going through treatment.
Tend to You is proud to offer care packages that are 100% sourced from small businesses and artisans across the Northeast.
We believe that small businesses pour more care and attention into their ingredients and production than the average brand. It is so important to be mindful of what you put in and on your body--something both artisans

"Cancer has impacted my close friends and family, and it’s difficult when we can’t always be there for treatments or even in the in-between times. So, I’m really really happy that the care packages opened to the public so I could send them to my loved ones during an extremely difficult time❤".

Ellie McDonald, our founder, had the idea for fresh and local care packages while she was receiving chemotherapy treatment. A few weeks before her last herceptin infusion, Tend to You was born. Throughout treatment Ellie noticed that a majority of the care packages marketed to her were generic and impersonal. Being a young adult cancer patient, she felt shocked, lost, and alone. Ellie’s mission for Tend to You is to not only provide care packages for people who need them, but also to facilitate a community of support for people in the same position she found herself in. No one expects to get cancer and the news hits like a bus; so if Tend to You can help people manage through this time - we are going to!
We are made of a board of directors who all have wellness, healthcare, and community wellness in mind.
We are also currenly seeking new board membes, so if you are interested in joining our team, we would love to connect with you!
