The Nourish + Navigate Program
Mission Statement
With Nourish + Navigate, we believe that no family should face the unthinkable weight of childhood cancer alone. Our mission is simple but powerful—to ensure families burdened with the financial strain of medical care have access to the food and fuel they need to keep moving forward. By addressing these basic yet vital needs, we help families focus on their loved ones and provide them with the stability and support they need during their most challenging days.
Who We Serve
We are here for families with children undergoing cancer treatment—families whose hearts are already full of worry and whose wallets are stretched too thin. For these families, every dollar counts, and every meal and every tank of gas can ease their load.
What We Do
Through the Nourish + Navigate Program, we bring hope, relief, and stability to families in need. Our program includes two key services:
1. Food Assistance
We ensure that families can access healthy, nourishing meals during treatment periods. Whether through grocery gift cards or meal deliveries, we make it easier to keep their family fed without additional stress.
2. Fuel Assistance
The cost of traveling to and from treatment centers can quickly add up. We help families cover fuel expenses so they can always get where they need to be—whether it's a routine appointment or a critical treatment session.
The Power of Community
Our program is fueled by the compassion and generosity of sponsors, volunteers, and supporters, who recognize the profound difference they can make in a family’s life. It’s a powerful cycle of kindness—when we lift each other up, we create a ripple effect that inspires change and gives hope to those who need it most.
Get Involved
You can be part of this life-changing mission. Whether you’re a business looking to sponsor a fuel gift card, a volunteer who wants to deliver meals, or an individual donor who believes in the power of kindness, every contribution makes a difference.
Together, we can ensure no family has to choose between a meal on their table or gas in their car. Together, we can help families focus on what truly matters—the health and well-being of their loved ones.
