Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine

The Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine is a 501c3 non-profit organization funded by private foundations, individual and corporate donations, and fundraisers. We embrace anyone affected by cancer in a community that offers hope and caring through support, education and concepts in healthy living. We offer free programs, activities, classes, support groups, travel and food assistance, and comfort items to anyone impacted by cancer....because no one should face cancer alone.
