Compassionate Recovery Meals
NHCCCF is providing short-term meal services to patients currently undergoing cancer treatment.
Can you imagine a cancer patient who has to not only undergo treatment but also worry about preparing their own meals in the same day? Can you imagine a cancer patient who doesn’t have any close family nearby, who lives with financial difficulties while in treatment, and has to worry about where the next meal is coming from?
In order to let our cancer patients obtain nutritious meals with peace of mind, starting on September 1st 2021, NHCCCF will be providing short-term free meal service to needy patients currently undergoing cancer treatment. Your monetary donations to this program will be specifically used to help prepare meals for cancer patients in need, and your assistance will help them get through this challenging time in their lives.
To donate, please see the donation instructions here.
If you are a cancer patient in need of this service, please contact our office number: (408) 609-3338.
