Meg has done toy drives for the last 6 years. Meg’s family has worked with friends and family to make so many kids’ holiday seasons brighter. Meg has done 10 deliveries to our local hospital, Inova L.J. Murphy Children’s hospital. Meg does an annual Christmas and Christmas in July delivery. Giving back to kids in the hospital during the holidays is very important to Meg considering she was one of those kids 6 years ago.
Meg’s family did this as their “family mission” for 5 years. In December of 2020, Meg decided she wanted to expand her mission and become an actual foundation. Meg started “Meg’s Giveback: Giving back a little childhood.” “Meg’s Giveback” is a foundation dedicated to giving back to kids with cancer and preserving their childhood through doing toy drives/deliveries. Meg has BIG PLANS for this foundation. Meg hopes to work with teenage cancer warriors/survivors in the future, help families financially, and continue to do her annual Christmas toy drives. So far Meg’s Giveback has raised over $7,000 and has impacted so many lives. Meg hopes that Meg’s Giveback will continue to grow, and can’t wait to see where it will take her.
“This is my favorite thing I get to do all year. I wake up every day knowing that I get to live out my purpose of helping these kids, and it’s because of the community around me and my foundation. My foundation that allows me to give back to children like me in my community.” - Meg Gallagher, founder of “Meg’s Giveback.”
