Classes are open to anyone affected by cancer, including survivors and caregivers. Those attending in-person classes are asked to wear a mask.
March is the center’s month at the Oxford Hannaford Supermarket. Every time a shopper buys the $2.50 Community Bag, $1 will be donated to the center. Shoppers can also buy the reusable Community Bag on Hannaford-To-Go.
