FreshDirect/American Cancer Society Partnership

Last week, we talked about the benefits of food delivery for people undergoing cancer treatment.  Below is info about FreshDirect's partnership with the American Cancer Society.

The American Cancer Society: Together We Are Helping Others in Need

For the past two years, FreshDirect has been proud to partner with the American Cancer Society®, a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem.
Founded here in New York City in 1913, the American Cancer Society now has more than two million volunteers nationwide, making it one of the oldest and largest voluntary health agencies in the United States. ACS works to prevent cancer, save lives and diminish suffering from cancer through research, education, advocacy and service.
When FreshDirect — and customers like you — contribute to the American Cancer Society, we're helping the ACS to serve cancer patients, survivors, their families and others who need up-to-date, reliable cancer information and support.
FreshDirect projects with the American Cancer Society include:

• Our nutritionist's Smart Eats — a selection of food that fits the American Cancer Society's recommendations for healthy eating.
• Fast, fun, flavorful meals from the American Cancer Society cookbooks in our One-Click Recipes area
• Annual fundraising for October's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
• Cooking workshops and fundraising for Hope Lodge NYC. Minutes away from some of the nation's most reputable cancer centers, Hope Lodge offers an affordable and supportive place to stay during treatment for cancer patients and their families.
• Support and fundraising for Camp Adventure. On the shores of Eastern Long Island, Camp Adventure provides an opportunity for kids to just be kids while receiving the medical attention they need from pediatric oncology professionals.
