Cancer Comfort Angels is a Christian based non-profit program to help in our local community. Our organization provides a simple act of kindness, which comes in the form of our Comfort Kits: a handmade blanket, cross, words of prayer to let you know you’re not alone in this fight.
It’s in the Hope that we can make each day a little brighter and let people know we are a friend here with you to support and love. Coping with cancer is difficult enough and Cancer Comfort Angels is here to bring Hope that God is always with us.
This is an opportunity for high school seniors whose lives have been affected by cancer, or have made a difference in someone’s life who is fighting cancer, to receive a scholarship to help with higher education expenses.
