We strive through each of our initiatives to make cancer patients and their caretakers feel the support from the local community. Cancer is tough, but you are not alone. Kickin’ Cancer is your local nonprofit organization focused on providing cancer support to the Redwood County area.
Are you ready to do
Your Part?
Blessing Bags are an initiative we do to help cancer patients feel supported during their treatment. Anyone who is diagnosed with cancer and lives within or near Redwood County can be given one. The blessing bags contain comfort care items and a gift card which can be used for gas or lodging during treatment.
