Testimonials

CSC is an organization that provides various services to people affected by cancer, either personally or through someone they know. The atmosphere is super fun and relaxed but also intimate enough to be comfortably supportive. For me,  meaningful and memorable moment volunteering was when a woman who had just been diagnosed came in to try on wigs, we helped her try on several different styles and there were a few moments where she was tearing up, and we were sort of tearing up – but also it was a really fun and silly moment, at the same time.
Molly Harbor, Volunteer
As a volunteer at CSCMT, I have the privilege of serving my community through tasks such as yard work, garden work, facility upkeep, office tasks, and much more. These tasks allow the amazing employees of CSC to stay focused on their important work, while I strive to add to the atmosphere at the facility and improve the quality of service offered to community members.
Helene Hart, Volunteer
I feel privileged to volunteer at Cancer Support Community. The facility itself is so beautiful – it’s just a pleasure to work there. And the staff is knowledgeable, supportive and fun. I can’t imagine doing anything more rewarding than supporting CSC’s mission to help families impacted by Cancer.
