Cancer In Maine
Facing cancer with nutrition starts with access and education.
We are expanding services and growing availability, but we can only do it with a gift from you today.
Addressing poverty, health, and nutrition is vital for Maine.
A cancer diagnosis rains down uncertainty and strain that is unbearable to many, disrupting access to healthy food and community connection when it is needed most.

“My leaf is in memory of my mom, Christine. Who will your leaf honor? A loved one, friend, or co-worker? Let’s celebrate them with a legacy gift to the Tribute Tree.”
- Matt Dexter, CBF Founder
Each budding leaf to this Tribute Tree will provide four months of healthy foods to a family facing cancer, a gift in honor, memory, or thanks to someone.
With a $35/month pledge, you can custom-engrave a leaf on this Tribute Tree, flourishing at CBF’s Darling’s Auto Fulfillment Site. Learn more by reaching us at (207) 573-9026 / info@chrisbfund.org or pledge your support below:

“Thanks goes out to your drivers who took the time, not just to drop off the groceries, but to talk to us. It meant a lot. Thanks again, and god bless.”
“Your program is so wonderful, I can’t thank you enough. This whole thing has been so awful, but that constant was so wonderful for my grandparents.”
“I just signed up to donate to CBF, after having received the food support provided to me four years ago. I have found employment and now am returning the favor.”
