We Care Card
The we care card
The Foundation is very grateful to continue to be the recipient organization of We Care Card sales. Shop owners and restaurants in West Hartford Center offer patrons a discount in return for purchasing a We Care Card. The discounts and card sales run for about 12 days starting the beginning of November.Join other volunteers for a fun Saturday or Sunday afternoon of selling We Care Cards. Volunteers set up small tables on LaSalle Road and Farmington Avenue and encourage passersby to purchase cards and provide information about pancreatic cancer and the Foundation, which can be informative for community members who may not know about us.

Many of our volunteers have been with the Foundation for over five years, creating a close-knit community that feels like family. Be part of something special — your contributions will make a lasting impact!Office Help
