Kindness Market

Our teams are working around the clock, which means it can be nearly impossible to find essential items. In an effort to ease this burden, nutrition services opened the ‘Kindness Market’! It’s stocked with staple items like eggs, milk, cheese, flour, rice, beans and bread. It also has toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and disinfectant available. The on-site grocery store isn’t only a time saver, it also allows our team to practice social distancing by avoiding crowds at the supermarket.

Your donation will keep the Kindness Market open and operating at wholesale costs for employees throughout this pandemic, and delivering much-needed items to employees in quarantine. We have established a dedicated COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund to be used to help offset the overwhelming burden of this emergency and provide our Care Givers with everything they need. Please show your support with a Tax Deductible Gift to this cause and comment “kindness market” if you want to donate specifically to this effort.

Support a Caregiver

Dignity Health East Valley Foundation supports Chandler Regional Medical Center (2,500 employees) and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center (1,800 employees) and accompanying urgent care centers.  We have had many calls from community members wanting to directly support employees and their families. We are so appreciative of your care and concern for our team members. Here are a few options:

HERO Fund: Helping Employees Reach others can take donations to support employees who find themselves in financial need. Emloyees apply to the human resources department. (This is not considered by the IRS to be a tax-deductible gift.)

Kindness Market: Employees at the hospitals can shop on-site for essential groceries and household items. Your gift would enable the hospitals to continue to provide the essentials at wholesale cost to employees.

Meals for Caregivers: The Foundation receives your donation of gift cards from your favorite restaurant and gives them to the team leader to coordinate a safe time for delivery of commercially-prepared food. 

Your donation can purchase internal Starbucks or Kindness Cafe gift cards to share with teams, in this way we are benefitting care teams and the food service teams. Snacks such as gatorade or protein bars are also greatly appreciated. 

Our Foundation team safely coordinates donations in partnership with Supply Management. We can provide additional information and we appreciate all of your generosity and kindly ask that you DO NOT bring items nor food into our hospitals or patient care settings:

Please comment Market, Meals or Heros, if you want to donate specifically to one of these efforts.
