2018 launched an exciting anniversary year, and we aren't stopping in 2019! We are looking forward to a wonderful year of partnering with you to serve central Ohio neighbors like
Erika.
Erika is a breast cancer survivor and shares, "I am thankful for the services that the Columbus Cancer Clinic provided during my treatment." The Clinic provided bras, prosthetics, wigs, and cancer support clothing at no cost after her double mastectomy. In addition, her family received financial support and was "adopted" this holiday season by our generous supporters!
With new inspiration from Erika, enjoy a sneak peek of our upcoming happenings. We hope you will join us in
Nourishing the Human Spirit
again this year!
