Volunteering
Promote This Nonprofit
Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Philanthropy, Philanthropy, Charity & Voluntarism Promotion
Mission: A non-profit organization comprised of local public servants, who volunteer their time to spread hope, love and encouragement to those in their community affected by cancer.
Target demographics: Families affected by Cancer
Geographic areas served: West Michigan
Programs: We conduct home visits to let cancer warriors and their family members know that they are not in this fight alone. Each September, we provide an all-expenses paid trip to Great Wolf Lodge (Heroes Helping Heroes) for approximately two dozen families to enjoy some family time and to provide a fun opportunity to meet and build relationships with other families in the community in similar unfortunate situations. Each December, we accept nominations for families struggling to make ends meet that could use some extra help to make Christmas special (Heroes Holiday). This year we provided support in the form of basic necessities and Christmas presents for 19 families throughout West Michigan. We offer multiple reunion events that allow us to maintain our connection with families, even those whose cancer battle has ended (either in a happy or sad way), because once you are touched by cancer, the journey never ends.
