Financial Assistance

BCAK receives many requests during the year for direct client financial support.

Besides the greater Kingston area, our coverage includes those areas from which patients receive treatment at the Cancer Centre of Southern Ontario at KGH, so it stretches as far as Trenton in the west, Picton in the south, Cornwall in the east and points north as far as Sharbot Lake, Perth and Westport.

​

Facing Challenges in your Financial Life?

Breast Cancer Action Kingston offers financial support to help those living with and receiving treatment within the Home and Community Care Support Services South East coverage area.  Applicants are encouraged to canvas other sources of funds available in the community as well as support from BCAK.

BCAK offers Financial Assistance in a Number of Ways

Wig, Prosthesis, Bra and Swimwear Bank.

A donation means a lot to a ‘recipient’. They may be in an unfortunate financial position in life compounded by their health problems. The items we have donated for the bank are clean, refurbished and ready to go! 

We would like to thank the people who generously donated their items. The bank can always use more.
