Food Finder

The Assistance Fund
Currently manage more than 90 disease programs—each of which covers the FDA-approved treatment for a specific disease.
Family Reach
Family Reach is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides non-medical financial support to families facing cancer. Treatment requires more than medicine — families need a roof over their heads and food on their tables to survive. If a family can’t meet these basic needs, cancer treatment takes a back seat. We work with patients, providers, and community organizations to challenge the systems that force families to choose between their health and their home. Together, we’re making financial treatment a standard of cancer care.
Accessia Health
Patients eligible to enroll in an open program may utilize their assistance to pay for one or more of the following: medication and provider copays, coinsurance, health insurance premiums, medical expenses, and travel. See below to view funds that are open for application and to check your eligibility.

Good Days is here to pay for treatments that can help return a degree of normalcy to your daily life. Red tape is the last thing you want to deal with at this time; our Care Navigators are expert in dealing with the healthcare and insurance industries, and will also guide you to other resources that can provide support and any additional assistance you may need. Apply online and get an immediate result.
PAN Foundation
Search by disease name or prescription and find out instantly if you qualify for financial assistance for out-of-pocket medication costs, insurance premiums, and even transportation expenses. If your fund is closed, sign up for the wait list.
Imerman Angel
We connect cancer fighters, survivors, previvors and caregivers to Mentor Angels, cancer confidantes with similar stories and experiences. Our unique matching process is done by real people, not a system with an algorithm.
We intentionally match according to age, gender, cancer type and experience; so you know you are talking to someone who truly understands what you’re going through, in a supportive and empathetic environment.
Cancer Hope Network
Navigating a cancer journey is hard. Connecting with someone who understands is easy. Cancer Hope Network offers personalized one-on-one peer support for cancer patients and caregivers with trained Peer Mentor survivors who’ve been through their own cancer experience. Their program is an important part of a whole-person, patient-centered approach to cancer care and is a pathway to hope that is available at any point in a cancer journey.
