CanCare is an interfaith volunteer cancer service rooted in the religious community and enables congregations to provide a specialized cancer outreach program to their congregants. CanCare volunteers are people of faith serving as goodwill ambassadors to others in need of CanCare’s services. Also, CanCare offers educational materials, a resource library and referrals to speakers including some of the most widely respected physicians in Houston.

CanCare was founded on the premise that God enters into the suffering of people and that human life is holy and precious, to be measured in richness and impact – not only in length.

Many of CanCare’s patient referrals come from member congregations. In addition, cancer survivors and family members from member congregations often train as CanCare volunteers.

Among many special events and programs offered to CanCare’s member congregations is the
Annual Interfaith Clergy Luncheon.
Clergy from all CanCare member congregations, congregations interested in learning more about CanCare’s cancer outreach programs and chaplains from area hospitals are all invited to attend, but reservations are required.
