Cancer Council of Ellis County
The Cancer Council of Ellis County has received a $1,000 grant from the Midwest Energy Community Fund. The funds will be used to purchase four wheelchairs to replace wheelchairs purchased almost 14 years ago.
The Cancer Council of Ellis County loans out equipment to Ellis County residents. Cancer patients are a priority for equipment loans, but the general public can borrow equipment. Equipment for individuals dealing with cancer is available at no cost to them during their treatment and recovery. Individuals having surgery borrow equipment for a short term with no cost to them.
The mission of the CCEC is to provide services to individuals and families affected by cancer and to provide education about cancer to the general public. They do this through financial services, nutritional supplements, sunscreen education and equipment loans.
The Midwest Energy Community Fund was created in 2005, and provides funds to activities that focus on youth, arts, education, libraries, community events and similar projects. The Community Fund Committees determine who receives the award from $50 to $1,000.
Thank you to Midwest Energy Community Fund for all you do for the community.
