Pitch In for CAN Cancer!

CAN Cancer, Community Assistance for Neighbors with Cancer, was founded by your Central Oregon garbage haulers and once again we are asking for your support!

Our communities have helped raise over $245,734 and helped 747 local patients across Central Oregon.

100% of your donations will help local families manage day-to-day non-medical expenses, including fuel, travel and food costs while receiving cancer treatment.

For more information or to donate online, visit cancancer.org. You can also follow us on Facebook.

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

Together we CAN make a difference!
