Garbage haulers ‘CAN Cancer’ effort returns

Our communities have raised over $310,000, helping our neighbors across Central Oregon battling cancer.

CAN Cancer, Community Assistance for Neighbors with Cancer, helps local families manage non-medical expenses, including fuel, travel, and food costs while receiving cancer treatment.

All 100% of the money stays local and 100% of funds raised goes to the patients.

This spring, the local garbage haulers will mail out a CAN Cancer envelope in their billing statements asking their customers to help ‘Pitch-In’ and donate.

“If each of our customers could donate even $1 or more, all of the funds will go towards helping our neighbors in need stay strong,” said Corinne Martinez of Wilderness Garbage & Recycling.

The group of Central Oregon Garbage Haulers includes Bend Garbage & Recycling, Cascade Disposal, High Country Disposal, Prineville Disposal, Madras Sanitary Service, and Wilderness Garbage.

HOW TO DONATE

CAN Cancer is relying on the Central Oregon community and the Haulers’ customers to ‘Pitch In’ because together we CAN make a difference!

This spring, customers can watch for their CAN Cancer envelope in their garbage billing statement.
Or donate online at www.cancancer.org. Donations are tax deductible.
