Make an In-Kind donation

To protect the health, safety, and privacy of our patients and their families, Mission Cancer Foundation has guidelines in place for all in-kind donations. Items that do not meet these guidelines may be respectfully declined, discarded, or asked to redirect to another charitable organization.

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of the individuals, businesses, and community groups who help bring comfort and encouragement to patients throughout their cancer journey.

At this time, Mission Cancer Foundation accepts items that are mailed or shipped directly from a retailer or business. In-person donations may also be delivered to our front desk at any Mission Cancer + Blood clinic or dropped off by appointment.

Please note that all donated items must be properly processed through the Foundation. Donations should not be placed or displayed in clinic spaces unless they have been approved, processed, and packaged by the Foundation.
