Our communities have raised over $173,000 and helped 667 local patients across Central Oregon. The demand continues to increase and more help is needed.
CAN Cancer, Community Assistance for Neighbors with Cancer, helps local families manage day-to-day non-medical expenses, including fuel, travel and food costs, while receiving cancer treatment. 100 percent of the money stays local and 100 percent of funds raised goes to the patient.
This spring, the local garbage haulers will mail out a CAN Cancer envelope in their billing statements asking customers to help pitch-in with a donation.
The group of Central Oregon Garbage Haulers includes Bend Garbage & Recycling, Cascade Disposal, High Country Disposal, Prineville Disposal, Madras Sanitary Service and Wilderness Garbage.
“If everyone can donate $1 or more, we can help our neighbors-in-need stay strong,” Corinne Martinez, Wilderness Garbage.
How to Donate
CAN Cancer is relying on the Central Oregon community and the Central Oregon Haulers’ customers to ‘Pitch- In’ and together we CAN make a difference!
Customers can watch for their CAN Cancer envelope in their garbage billing statement.
Or donate online at www.cancancer.org. Donations to CAN Cancer are tax deductible.
