COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — The Lucky Duck Foundation recently made a $5,000 donation to a program that provides medically tailored food to Bassett Healthcare Network cancer patients at no cost to them.
The program is a collaborative effort between the Bassett Cancer Institute and the Cooperstown Food Pantry. It provides food to dozens of cancer patients and their families across Bassett’s eight-county service area. Items are delivered to patients at home or during their medical appointments. Dieticians and nutritionists ensure the meals fit each patient’s medical needs.
“The local community’s response to this program has been incredibly inspiring,” Mark Kirkby, program coordinator at the Bassett Cancer Institute, said in a news release announcing the donation. “We are so grateful to the Lucky Duck Foundation for their support. Our cancer patients face treatments, therapies, and other challenges with so much strength and resolve. We are honored that through this partnership with the Cooperstown Food Pantry, we are able to take away the financial pressures and logistical challenges that can come with planning out meals and purchasing groceries.”
