Anchored in Faith Gives Back to Kaiser Roseville Oncology This Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving, Anchored in Faith returned to a place that will forever hold deep meaning in our story: Kaiser Roseville Oncology. It’s the very hospital where our CEO, Raymond Acierto, spent countless days and nights receiving chemotherapy during his fight against mantle cell lymphoma. The halls, the rooms, and most importantly, the people inside them played a major role in his journey toward healing.

This year, we wanted to bring gratitude back full circle.

Honoring the Nurses Who Became Family

Anyone who has undergone cancer treatment knows the truth: nurses are more than medical professionals. They become encouragers, protectors, listeners, and sometimes the only familiar faces on the hardest days.

The oncology nurses at Kaiser Roseville walked alongside Raymond through every infusion, every test, and every moment of uncertainty. They lifted his spirit when he didn’t have the strength to lift it himself.

To honor the love, compassion, and care they gave, Anchored in Faith organized a Thanksgiving giveback event dedicated to them.

A Partnership with Purpose: Tiny Kitchen x Anchored in Faith

To help bring this vision to life, we partnered with Tiny Kitchen, a beloved local business known for its incredible home-style meals. Together, we prepared warm, comforting Thanksgiving plates to deliver directly to the oncology unit.

From turkey and stuffing to all the classic fixings, each plate was made with love — symbolizing nourishment, gratitude, and community.

A Thanksgiving of Full Hearts

On the day of the delivery, our team walked into Kaiser Roseville not as patients, but as a nonprofit rooted in gratitude and purpose. The smiles, warm hugs, and heartfelt conversations reminded us why Anchored in Faith exists: to support, uplift, and honor the cancer community.

Seeing the nurses enjoy a Thanksgiving meal made this moment even more meaningful. For many of them, the holiday is spent working long hours away from their families so patients can continue receiving lifesaving care. Being able to bring a little comfort to their day was our way of saying thank you.
