Partner Program
Food Pantries
Food insecurity often accompanies cancer treatment. Our annual support to Stewart's Caring Place provides shelf stable pantry necessities, toiletries and paper products, and grocery and gas gift cards when needed.
Providing access to food for families facing cancer.
Through our partnership with Stewart’s Caring Place, we fund expanded, well-stocked food pantries at both Fairlawn and Canton locations, built to serve families facing cancer and the food insecurity that so often accompanies it.
Our annual support provides shelf stable pantry necessities, toiletries and paper products, and grocery and gas gift cards when needed. The dedicated volunteers at Stewart’s Caring Place assemble complete pantry bags and each year, they distribute nearly 1,000 food shares.
Food insecurity during cancer treatment is more common than most people realize. When a diagnosis disrupts work, income and daily routines, putting food on the table can become an unexpected and overwhelming challenge, even for families who never faced it before. This program makes sure that nourishment is one less thing to worry about.
Your support of this program helps ensure that a family fighting cancer can sit down to a real meal and focus their energy on healing.
