Farmhouse Friends

Farmhouse Friends operates Smile Club for children undergoing cancer treatment. It distributes free farm-themed Smile Boxes through three named Southern California hospitals, offers around-the-clock virtual animal views and animal pen-pal correspondence, and maintains a public application, although out-of-network access is unclear. Guest of the Farm is a separate free day for a family whose child has an end-of-life wish or is celebrating chemotherapy completion, with up to 20 guests, activities, photographs, lunch, transportation, and gifts.
