Mission Statement
The Caring Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides financial support to cancer patients in need by providing assistance with rent, utilities, treatment or other expenses that become difficult to manage during cancer treatment.
Description
The Caring Community Foundation is run largely by volunteers. As was the goal for the very first patient, the organization raises money to provide financial assistance to cancer patients undergoing cancer treatment in need in the Triangle area of North Carolina. Through the help of social workers, patients are identified and receive checks to help pay for rent, food, transportation, daycare - the bare necessities. Just one example: One woman with cancer and receiving hospice care was just about to be evicted from her home when the Caring Community Foundation stepped in to pay her monthly mortgage payment. Our goal at CCF is to make the gift of giving a seamless, effective process.
