This October, the Community Center at Grace is proud to partner with The Breathing Room Foundation to raise awareness, encourage prevention, and remind our community that we don’t have to face cancer alone.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an important reminder to take care of yourself and make your health a priority. Schedule your recommended screenings, know what is normal for your body, don’t ignore changes or concerns, and make time to talk with your doctor about your individual risk and what screenings are right for you.
But cancer affects more than our physical health. A diagnosis can impact an entire family—bringing emotional, financial, and practical challenges along with it. That’s why we’re grateful to have The Breathing Room Foundation as one of our Community Center mission partners. They provide practical, emotional, and financial support to individuals and families navigating cancer.
As part of our October mission focus, we are collecting household items to help BRF create care packages for local families affected by cancer. These care packages provide “breathing room” by offering families some of the everyday essentials they may need while navigating treatment and everything that comes with a cancer diagnosis.
We are collecting:
Toilet paper & paper towels
Napkins & tissues
Toothpaste & toothbrushes
Body soap & antibacterial hand soap
Laundry detergent
Dish soap & dish sponges
Lysol/Clorox wipes
Diapers & baby wipes
Help us fill a care package! Bring an item—or a few—to The Community Center at Grace throughout October and help us turn our community’s generosity into practical support for local families fighting cancer.
At the Community Center at Grace, we believe that caring for our community means caring for the whole person and the whole family. This month, take a moment to check in with yourself, make that appointment, have the conversation with your doctor, and learn about the resources available to you.
Know your body. Know your resources. Know that you are not alone.
