NUTRITION
Cook for Your LIFE - cookforyourlife.org

TEACHING HEALTHY COOKING TO PEOPLE TOUCHED BY CANCER.
The American Institute of Cancer Research estimates that more
than 1/3 of the most common cancers could be prevented through
healthier eating and lifestyles. Since 2007, Cook for your LIFE has
provided in-person and online healthy cooking classes in English
and in Spanish free of charge. Our mission is to teach the wider
cancer community of patients, caregivers and survivors how to
live better, healthier lives through providing 101 education about
healthy food, and by teaching the basic cooking skills needed to
succeed in improving diet for better overall health outcomes. We
really do teach healthy cooking to people touched by cancer.

Project Angel Heart - projectangelheart.org

Project Angel Heart was founded in 1991 to address a major
challenge for Coloradans who are ill: getting the nutrition they
need to get stronger, heal, and remain at home. Many are too
sick to get to the grocery store or unable to cook for themselves.
Others find they have to choose whether to buy food or
medication to make ends meet.

PEER CONNECTION
Cancer Hope Network - www.cancerhopenetwork.org

Cancer Hope Network provides free one-on-one emotional peer
support to adult cancer patients and their loved ones. Each of
CHN's 400+ volunteers is at least one year post-treatment or
successfully undergoing maintenance therapies. They have
faced more than 80 cancer types and speak 15 languages. Our
volunteers offer support from diagnosis, through treatment and
into recovery. Cancer Hope Network serves cancer patients in the
United States and Canada.

Imerman Angels - imermanangels.org

Sometimes the best therapy is just talking to someone who's
been there. Imerman Angels connects cancer fighters, survivors,
caregivers, and those with cancer predisposition with "Mentor
Angels" - volunteers who share the same, or similar, experiences.
Mentor Angels provide a chance to ask personal questions and
receive support from a peer who has been down the same road.
The service is absolutely free and available for those touched by
any cancer, at any age, living anywhere in the world!
