Cancer Support - Be An Angel - Volunteer or Contribute

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We are frequently asked for ways to help us help those living with or affected by cancer. Angel On My Shoulder operates solely on a volunteer basis. To request a volunteer application form we invite you to write, e-mail, call us toll free or download an application here.

 

Whether it is “hands on”, financially, and above all your prayers for those in need, your support is greatly appreciated. Angels can’t fly with one wing. We can always use an extra pair of “wings” and it is a wonderful way to give from the heart.

We have compiled the following list of suggested ways of how you too can be an “angel”:
