Program Spotlight: Columbus Cancer Clinic |
|
Did you know that our Columbus Cancer Clinic offers a basic needs pantry? "Groceries-to-Go" provides food, personal hygiene items, and household supplies to clients who are fighting cancer, often serving whole families!
Over this past year, the demand for pantry support has skyrocketed due to pandemic need and isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Thanks to the help of dedicated volunteers and staff, cancer patients are getting the food and supplies that they need to stay strong and fight cancer. Over the past year, the panty has seen record-breaking numbers. Take a look below to see how the pantry and the Clinic are saving lives!
The Numbers:
-
52% increase in pantry service since March 1, 2020
-
100% of pantry goods are now delivered, in order to keep high-risk cancer clients with compromised immune systems safe.
-
Over 5,000 individuals served this past year, including many families with children.
The Clinic also provides thousands of cancer screenings each year, as well as home care support services such as transportation, emergency assistance, and more. Thanks to the many donors and volunteers who make this critical service possible. Because of you, we are able to accept all those in need without waiting lists!

Meet Resourcing Edge!
"Our community needs to be fed. That is essential." - DuChene (route coordinator)
Coming on board in January 2020, this team has faithfully delivered meals on the frontlines of the pandemic with a smile! The team shared that they look forward to serving their neighbors, and offered a word of encouragement for other companies who might be thinking about starting or resuming a route. "It is as enjoyable as it is rewarding! Don't worry about not knowing what to do. You get the help and information you need, and seeing someone smile makes it completely worth the time and effort."
Thank you, Resourcing Edge for your incredible service!
