The Glades Open Table Network is accepting referrals for residents who are currently battling cancer and may need additional support. Available assistance may include:
Transportation to medical appointments, Utility bill assistance (electricity, water, telephone), gas, car payments, or car repairs, and regular check-ins and support. Due to limited funding, rental assistance is not available at this time. Please help us spread the word so we can support community members during their cancer journey.
