CAN Cancer Appeal

It's the 5th Anniversary for CAN Cancer!  Our communities have raised over $99,000 allowing us to help 466 local families in Central Oregon.

CAN Cancer was founded by the Central Oregon Garbage Haulers to provide financial assistance to help cover non-medical living expenses for individuals going through cancer treatment.  Funds raised have helped local families with their utilities, gas cards, rent assistance, hotel stays and grocery cards.

100% of the money stays local and 100% of the funds raised goes to the patient.

CAN Cancer donation envelopes are going out in the Central Oregon garbage haulers March billing statements asking their customers to help.

Donations can also be made online by going to cancancer.org.  Click on the 'Central Oregon' donate online button. 

Tax deductible donations are administered through our partnership with St. Charles Foundation.
