CanCare is a network of trained volunteers including cancer survivors, family members of cancer survivors and medical professionals who provide emotional support to others facing cancer. In particular, cancer survivors are trained to provide emotional support to those currently facing a battle with cancer, while family members of cancer survivors also provide emotional support to family members of cancer patients.

Through collaboration with congregations, corporations and hospitals, CanCare exists to bring resources of encouragement, companionship, information and hope to cancer patients and their families.
