HVC was founded by a cancer survivor, so we truly understand the strain and burden cancer causes, not only physically and emotionally, but financially as well. That’s why we created this grant program to help cancer patients and their families in the 9- county area of the Hudson Valley who are struggling with the unexpected costs of cancer care and are in need of assistance.
This grant program allows for (1) $150 gift card to either Wal-Mart or ShopRite which is intended to help offset your household expenses. This is a one-time only grant program, so once you have received a grant you cannot apply again.
In order to qualify for the Hudson Valley Cancer for the Hudson Valley Cancer Financial Assistance Grant Program, you must:
