With over 20 programs and services, we rely heavily on in-kind donations. We accept new, unused items in their original packaging, all year long to support our families. It's more than a donation. Your contribution directly supports patients and families who are being served by the Duke Cancer Patient Support Program.

If you have questions or would like to donate items from our wish list, email matt.pennachi@duke.edu or call 919-684-4497.
