Food insecurity is one facet of the larger issue of financial toxicity that surrounds cancer and its treatment. The expense of treatment coupled with lower income due to lost productivity or jobs means that patients must make tough decisions regarding what they can afford. No one should have to choose between feeding their family or getting treatment. Since the beginning of the year, we have awarded 1,688 grants to patients seeking emergency financial assistance. In a typical year, we would have served approximately 875 people during this timeframe, but at the halfway mark, we have served 320 more patients than planned. 39% of them listed food insufficiency as their greatest need.

Families facing cancer are struggling. A special thank you to Tim and Jan Maudlin, for providing a $20,000 matching gift to ensure we can keep pace with increased number of requests for help with nutrition. Please check “Help where needed most” to have your gift matched!

Since our founding in 2001,  Angel has distributed more than $11 million in critical financial aid and provided more than 35,000 services to local families through our programs

Thank you for supporting Angel Foundation

Together, we are helping families when cancer strikes.
