Cancer Association

Caring/Nurturing/Giving

Since 1967, the Cancer Association has been helping to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families in our communities. When someone is first diagnosed with cancer, the patient and the family must face tremendous challenges surrounding the treatment and recovery. Oftentimes, their entire life is turned upside down in the course of just one day as they struggle to come to terms with the diagnosis and what it means for their health, their family, their work, their financial situation and an uncertain future.

Fortunately, the Cancer Association is ready with assistance for these patients. Through our diverse range of services—from providing nutritional supplements and wigs to the loan of much needed hospital equipment to assisting with treatment transportation and free counseling - we can help families face cancer with caring support along the entire way.

A NOTE FROM OUR STAFF AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Everything we do is made possible by a community that cares. Our donors, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters make it possible for us to serve our neighbors when they need it most.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our mission. We invite you to explore our programs, attend an event, volunteer, or support our work in whatever way is meaningful to you. Together, we can make a difference for local cancer patients and their families.

We're glad you're here.
