Teal We Find A Cure has donated $40,000 to support the NOURISH Food Pantry at the Yung Family Cancer Center, helping provide nutritious food to cancer patients and families facing financial challenges during treatment.
For many patients, medical expenses and time away from work can make it difficult to afford healthy meals. The NOURISH Food Pantry helps ease that burden by providing food assistance to those undergoing cancer treatment and their loved ones.
“The impact of this donation extends far beyond food — it provides comfort, dignity and hope to patients and families facing one of the most difficult times in their lives. We are deeply grateful to Teal We Find A Cure and its supporters for investing in the health and well-being of our cancer patients. Their generosity will help ensure that no patient has to choose between receiving treatment and putting nutritious food on the table.” Dr. Doug Flora, Executive Medical Director, Oncology Services, Yung Family Cancer Center.
Since opening in 2023, the pantry has distributed more than 77,000 pounds of food and provided more than 64,000 meals to over 11,000 people throughout the region.
“The Teal We Find A Cure committee is so grateful to our supporters for making this donation possible and proud to help provide meaningful support to local cancer patients and their families,” said Jennifer Oney-Hill of Teal We Find A Cure.
The donation reflects Teal We Find A Cure’s ongoing commitment to supporting local cancer patients and ensuring they have access to critical resources during treatment.
