About Us:

West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation (WCK) is an organization supporting families with small actions that make a big impact every day. Our families need food, connection, resources, and mental health support while navigating childhood cancer and blood disorders. The WCK community comes together to provide practical support that truly makes a difference and helps families to know they are cared for, supported, and heard.

About our Food Programs: 

Food brings comfort, support, and the gift of time together.

When a child is going through cancer or blood disorder treatment, even something small like eating regular meals can be a real challenge. West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation provides nourishing meals to families at the hospital and at home - at no cost to them. 

Food support gives families much more than nutrients and calories. It saves time and provides support, care, and connection beyond the expression of words. Read more about our Food Programs here.
