The Little Saint Nick Foundation (LSNF) is proud to announce it was the recipient of a $2,500 grant from Teachers Federal Credit Union (TFCU), which funded and supported the creation of 250 St. Nick Gift Bags for pediatric patients at Tampa General Hospital’s Healthpark.

In addition to the grant, TFCU employees and their families came together in Tampa to personally pack the gift bags—each filled with items meant to ease stress and brighten a child’s hospital stay, including:

• A cuddly stuffed animal

• A pop-it toy for stress relief

• A coloring book and pack of crayons for creativity

• A handmade Inspiration Card with words of encouragement

This effort reflects LSNF’s signature “6-in-1 impact” model, where every bag touches the lives of not only the child, but also their families, healthcare workers, volunteers, donors, and future community members inspired to give back.

“We are so grateful to Teachers Federal Credit Union for their generosity and hands-on support,” said Ciara Gallagher, Director of Marketing & Impact at the Little Saint Nick Foundation. “The Tampa community is such a meaningful part of our growth, and partnerships like this ensure that children in crisis receive smiles. Together, we are building a ripple effect of kindness that will continue to inspire families and volunteers alike.”
