Overview
Our mission is to ease the financial burden of cancer treatment for local cancer patients so that they are able to continue their treatments. We feel that all cancer patients should feel empowered to be an active participant in their treatment.
More About Us
CALA (formerly CAGNO) assists with necessities crucial to healing and improving quality of life by providing a bedrock of support for patients in their greatest time of need. CALA fills the gap in services provided through local hospitals, hospices and other healthcare agencies and helps reduce the financial burden for patients and their families. Without CALA, these gaps must be met by family or friends or are not met at all. Patients are eligible if they are in current treatment, hospice or palliative care.
What Your Dollars Do
$5,000 for Food insecurities and Transportation. Cancer patients are having a harder time securing these necessities because of increasing costs. By providing gas/food cards and in some areas and vouchers to local markets such as TopBox, we can help those who need it most.

$50 = a month’s supply of items such as food or gas cards, adult diapers or bed pads for 2 cancer patients
