Cooking To Help Fight Cancer
In 2005, the Friends of the Cancer Center created a cookbook, Food To Warm The Soul, to sell. Volunteers, patients and employees contributed their favorite recipes for the cookbook. The cookbook even includes an entire section with tips on how to eat while undergoing cancer treatment.
To date, more than 600 cookbooks have been sold, and more than $8,000 has been raised. To get your copy of Food To Warm The Soul, please call (910) 615-7618.
