Nutrition · nourish the fight
Treatment asks more of the body at the same time hardship can leave the cupboard empty.
Support approved food and nutritional assistance for eligible patients and households during treatment and recovery.
Strength needs support
A family should not have to choose between getting to care and putting food on the table.
Cancer treatment can place enormous pressure on a household. Patients may face changes in appetite, energy and nutritional needs at the same time that treatment, transport and time away from work put additional pressure on family finances.
Adequate nutrition is an important part of supporting patients through their cancer journey. Care for Cancer Foundation helps vulnerable cancer patients and their families with grocery and nutritional support so that putting nourishing food on the table does not become another burden during treatment.
