Comprehensive support services for cancer patients in Louisiana.
Assistance is available to individuals with a cancer diagnosis, living in Louisiana and are currently undergoing treatment or on hospice services for their diagnosis.
At CALA, we understand that traveling to and from treatment can be a significant obstacle. To ensure no patient misses vital appointments, we offer transportation assistance in the form of gas cards.
Healthcare Supplies
CALA maintains a stock of donated medical supplies to be given to patients when needed and available. We aim to relieve your stress by providing essential healthcare and cleaning supplies necessary for your comfort and well-being during treatment. Whether you require personal hygiene products or household cleaning essentials, CALA is here to support your needs during challenging times.
Nutrition Assistance
Proper nutrition is critical to your health during cancer treatment, recovery, or hospice care. CALA provides nutrition assistance programs that help patients access healthy and balanced meals. Our services include Boost nutritional supplements, grocery gift cards, farmer’s market vouchers, and frozen meals through CleanEatz. If you are interested in these programs, please complete our application for services.
Durable Medical Equipment
CALA maintains a supply of donated durable medical equipment to provide to patients when available. Connect with your healthcare provider or our team to discuss your specific equipment needs.
Wigs, Hats, and Scarves
We recognize that appearance changes due to cancer treatment can be emotionally challenging. CALA provides wigs, hats, and scarves free of charge to help restore confidence and comfort. Our compassionate team is here to help you select items that suit your personal style and preferences. We also host a monthly wig group on the first Wednesday of each month, offering additional support and guidance.
