Cancer Community Support Grocery/Gas Card Application |
The Northern New England Clinical Oncology Society Cancer Community Support Grocery/Gas Card Program is designed to support the emergency needs of patients with cancer in Northern New England (Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont) facing food insecurity and related financial toxicities. Practices/clinics without an affiliated non-profit organization/foundation to provide direct, emergency assistance to patients are eligible to apply for gift cards to distribute to patients on behalf of NNECOS. Recipients of the cards must be hematology/oncology patients under active treatment or receiving palliative care services as they approach hospice. Each site must identify a champion to take responsibility for program implementation, accountability, and regular reporting. These cards ($25 each) are provided as a gift to patients from NNECOS.
