How to help

Do you want to get involved with LifeCare Alliance Cancer Services? Here’s how you can help!

Adopt-a-Family

The holidays are a  particularly difficult time for our patients, who are having both financial and physical health struggles. Each holiday season our clients are matched with generous sponsors who purchase gifts on the family’s behalf to help create everlasting memories. Sponsors provide the LifeCare Alliance with their desired family size to adopt and then are matched with a family and provided a wish list created by the family. The gifts can be dropped off at LifeCare Alliance or taken to the cleints’ homes. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor and making a huge impact in the holiday season of one of our families, please call 614-263-5006. You can reach out any time during the year to be put on our donor list!
