The Hope Chest for Women gives over $30,000 annually to assist between 125-150 new clients with breast or gynecological cancer. Since 2003, The Hope Chest for Women has awarded over $225,000 in assistance and helped an estimated 1125 women in the WNC community. The organization was founded to relieve the burden created by the cost of breast or gynecological cancer treatment. All money raised through assistance programs will stay here in our WNC communities.

“It’s truly a blessing to know that people donate to something like this to help others. It’s a wonderful gift for those of us who are faced with these tough choices in this situation,” one client said.
