Lemons of Love, Des Plaines, Illinois;
Lemon of Love’s mission is to deliver chemo care packages, provide programs and make moments for anyone impacted by cancer. Lemons of Love was created in 2014 when founder Jill Swanson Peltier was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer. Determined to make lemonade from her diagnosis, she began making care packages and sharing them with other patients in treatment. While Jill initially shared these packages in order to connect with others, she experienced firsthand how a small act of kindness could make a big impact for those diagnosed with cancer.
Since 2014, Lemons of Love has shared more than 18,500 care packages and offered more than 240 free in-person and virtual classes through the Lemons of Love Cancer Resource Center.
