Letters to the Editor...CAS-hh could use your helping hands

Dear editor, With so many worthy groups raising money to fight cancer, choosing the best place to direct charitable dollars may be difficult. Cancer Assistance Services-Halton Hills (CAS-hh) is a volunteer organization comprised of your neighbours, offering various support services, free of charge, to local people affected by cancer. Examples include counseling, palliative care, nutritional supplements, programs like tai chi and yoga, equipment such as wheelchairs and transportation. Volunteers drive patients, usually on an individual basis, to various treatment centres with the driver remaining at the hospital until the passenger is ready to return home. Funds raised for CAS-hh remain in our community and, because of low overhead, go primarily to patient support. CAS-hh needs your help as a volunteer, canvasser or donor to continue offering invaluable assistance to the people of Halton Hills.
