Fighting Cancer Through Donations and Volunteer Opportunities
For many cancer patients and their families, helping others can be an important part of healing. MyMichigan can assist you in volunteering your time and talents or in making a donation to cancer-related charitable funds that will make a difference locally.

- Fundraising - Volunteers assist in a variety of fundraising events and activities that enable MyMichigan affiliates to provide much-needed patient care and equipment.
- Home Care/Hospice - Volunteers may work on in-office projects or with hospice patients at home, performing errands and chores, providing a friendly chat or offering family members rest from the responsibilities of caregiving.
- Maria Mencia Cancer Caregiver Network - Volunteers offer resources and support to caregivers of cancer patients.
- Patient Services - Volunteers provide direct assistance to inpatients, outpatients and their families in a variety of settings including MyMichigan's surgery centers, infusion centers, rehabilitation centers, inpatient units and long-term care facilities.
