Free cancer support for the whole family,
the whole time.
Join us and find a home away from home – a free community of support and a safe place for everyone who is touched by cancer.
Providing over 190 free program offerings a month and serving nearly more than 3,600 members in our community living with cancer means we need you!
Our program is free for those who need it because of the generosity of donors who help make our vision a reality.
I have a theory that cancer cells hate laughter
and jokes and songs and dancing.

Gilda’s Club Announces Financial Assistance Program For People In Active Treatment

Living with cancer is not a choice.
How you live with it is.
When cancer knocks on your door,
walk through ours.
Gilda's Club has been a safe haven, a second family, and a wonderful experience for me. I have laughed, cried, and learned so much.
Gilda’s is an extension of my family in a way I would never have expected. It’s made such a positive impact on my family and me.
I have adopted the motto of Gilda's Club as my own. I did not want a cancer diagnosis, but I am choosing how I live with it. My choice is to live positively with the help from Gilda's Club!
The support I've received has been invaluable and it's comforting to know I'm surrounded by people who truly understand the cancer journey and are there to support me every step of the way.
Prior to finding Gilda’s I felt isolated and overwhelmed. Speaking with other caregivers has been key to being able to cope and keep going, as well as getting much needed information to advocate and care for my mom.
My experience at Gilda’s has been transformative. The support groups, wellness activities, and educational workshops have empowered me to navigate my cancer journey, while helping others do the same.
Thank you to our sponsors!
