Stage4 continues to minister to those facing the devastating diagnoses of cancer by distributing comfort bags to 5 cancer treatment centers in the Akron/Medina area.
Our all-volunteer group is made up of those who have completed cancer treatments in the past, those currently in treatment, caregivers, and those who care. The comfort bags contain items suggested by those of us who have experienced cancer and know what makes that time a little easier.
If you would like to join us in this exciting ministry, we meet at St Luke’s Anglican Church in Copley Oh.
