Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Temora was formed in 1983. Our branch is dedicated to supporting cancer patients and their families in the Temora Shire. All monies raised locally stay in the local community and the ongoing generous support received is very much appreciated. Each client’s needs are treated individually and confidentially.
Areas Serviced: Ariah Park, Barmedman, Combaning, Dirnaseer, Gidginbung, Grogan, Junee Reefs, Mimosa, Morangarell, Narraburra, Pucawan, Quandary, Reefton, Sebastopol, Springdale, Temora, Trungley Hall
Financial Assistance
We understand that families struggle to cope with a reduced income as a result of a cancer diagnosis and that they face increased expenses from travel, accommodation and medical costs.
Accommodation Assistance
Lilier Lodge provides accommodation for people undergoing cancer treatment at nearby facilities including the Riverina Cancer Care Centre, Wagga Wagga Base Hospital and Calvary Hospital.
Purpose built by Can Assist and the Cancer Council NSW, with the support of local and regional communities, it is managed by Can Assist. The 21 bed lodge is a warm and supportive home away from home.
Our Supporters
Our Branch would not exist without our members, volunteers and community supporters. We thank them for their contribution.
Upcoming Events
There are no upcoming events at this time.
