Trust in Hope

Cancer treatment places big demands on many patients, and that can make getting through the holidays an especially challenging time.

Funded by contributions to the Foundation, and made possible by hard-working volunteers, the Trust in Hope program provides Thanksgiving meals and holidays gifts for eligible patients and their families! Meals and gifts, along with wrapping supplies and a smile, are delivered straight to patient doors by our wonderful volunteers.

542 Thanksgiving meals were delivered to 61 families
In 2024
33 families were provided holiday gifts for 67 children

Through this program, Illinois CancerCare Foundation is able to provide even more compassion, support and HOPE to our patients over the holidays. In the last 16 years, 5,258 Thanksgiving meals have been delivered and 472 families with 782 children have received holiday gifts!
