Food for Fighters

In addition to fighting cancer, cancer patients are now burdened with concern regarding COVID-19: a virus with serious health complications, including death, to immunocompromised individuals. This puts cancer patients at increased risk due to their compromised immune systems from battling cancer.

All over the state of Georgia, cancer patients are unable to go to the grocery store – or they are putting themselves at increased risk when going to the store – to purchase the essential items they need to stay at home in the midst of this global pandemic. To help meet this need, the East Georgia Cancer Coalition is initiating a new program: Food for Fighters! This program will provide three months of free grocery delivery services to cancer patients in our region who are unable to go to the store due to concern over this virus.

We need your help. Please consider donating to our fundraiser to help alleviate these concerns so these patients can stay at home and focus on beating cancer. Your donation will allow us to purchase three-months-worth of grocery delivery services for one patient. Donations of any kind are more than appreciated. Thank you!

"If we view ourselves as besieged victims who need to go into hiding, then we will cultivate fear and hoarding. If we view ourselves as a community working hard to protect the most vulnerable among us, then we will cultivate courage and helping. Mindset matters." - Len Niehoff
