Newport Avenue Market Supports CAN Cancer

Each month, Newport Avenue Market chooses a Charity of the Month for their FoodeFlash Card program. Customers can donate the money they've earned through the FoodeFlash Card program to help CAN Cancer. Newport Avenue Market has donated over $25,000 in the past year through their charity of the month program.

CAN Cancer was founded by the Central Oregon garbage haulers and the program provides financial assistance to help cover day-to-day living expenses for Central Oregonians fighting all forms of cancer. 100% of the money stays local and goes directly to the patient.
