The Hope Chest for Breast Cancer Foundation Our mission is to help under-served or financially distressed individuals and their families touched by breast cancer. The Hope Chest for Breast Cancer was founded in 2001. Celebrating our 10 year anniversary in 2011 marks a milestone of providing $1,000,000 in support to breast cancer patients and their families in the Twin Cities area. Hope Chest’s guiding philosophy is to ensure that our funding is disbursed in our community to provide the most effective support to those directly touched by breast cancer at a time when they need hope. The Hope Chest's programs provide:   Financial assistance for rent, utilities, transportation and other needs to those who are having financial difficulties or are unable to work due to the side effects of breast cancer treatment.  "Delivered Meals that Heal" for breast cancer patients and their families so that they can get the essential nourishment that their bodies need during treatment.  Early detection education and screening programs that focus on diverse populations.

The Hope Chest for Breast Cancer Foundation raises funds through: The sale of donated upscale furniture, accessories, and designer women's clothing at our retail stores.  Individual and Corporate Donations  Foundation fundraising events and programs
