Your neighborhood grocer may be conveniently located just a few short blocks away. But for many persons with disabilities and the elderly participating in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the store might as well be on the other side of the world.
It's a difficult problem that USDA's new homebound food delivery pilot aims to alleviate, not just for the more than 4 million nonelderly adults with disabilities participating in SNAP, but also for the nearly 5 million seniors, who often face similar challenges and who may face disabilities, as well.
One of the things that we hear all too frequently at Cancer and Careers is "I wish I'd known that your organization existed sooner", and we are working to change this every day. 1.66 million new cancer cases are diagnosed each year in the United States. As of 2014, there are more than 14.5 million cancer survivors in the U.S. As the number of cancer survivors in the U.S. continues to grow, there is an increasing need for resources and support to help them get back to everyday life and work after diagnosis and treatment. Cancer and Careers was born 15 years ago to address this need. Our mission is to empower and educate people with cancer to thrive in their workplace, by providing expert advice, interactive tools and educational events.
