Pink Ribbon Cupbord Gets Grant

St. Joseph's Foundation and the Pink Ribbon Cupboard Project recently received a $25,000 grant from the Minnesota Affiliate of Susan G.Komen for the Cure.

The Pink Ribbon Cupboard is a source for emergency financial assistance for women
undergoing breast cancer treatment. The financial assistance will be for non-medical needs such as gas vouchers for travel expenses to treatment, mortgage assistance, utility bills, and other expenses as a result of the medical condition. The Cupboard will serve women in Aitkin, Crow Wing, and Cass Counties.

A three-person board will review the needs, and determine the amount of assistance.

The Project Director for the Pink Ribbon Cupboard is long time breast cancer advocate, Kathy Buxton of East Gull Lake.
