The Bonners Ferry Women’s Cancer Education and Support Group was established to provide emotional support, encouragement and hope resulting from group discussions and presentations by guest speakers.

It is a non-profit established 20-plus years and functions/operates on donations only and occasional quilt raffles.

Newly diagnosed ladies with any type of cancer are given lovely baskets containing a variety of items to let them know we are here for them because we understand and care.

Donations from local groups and individuals make it possible for us to provide gas vouchers to women, men or children who travel out of Boundary County for cancer treatments or appointments. Motto: “We Care, We’ve Been There”

We meet at the Panhandle Health Meeting Room from noon to 2 p.m. the fourth Monday of each month. For more information, please call 208-267-2711.
