NBCF offers support services that help patients now and inspire hope to those affected by breast cancer. NBCF provides HOPE Kits, a tangible expression of hope, to comfort breast cancer patients in their time of need. 22,403 HOPE Kits and 108 Metastatic HOPE Kits were sent this year. NBCF's HOPE Kits are packed by volunteers and filled with thoughtful items known to soothe the side effects from treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation.

NBCF partners with medical facilities across the United States to provide screening, diagnostic, and patient navigation services. Partner medical facilities are committed to providing breast cancer patients with the care they need at each step of the journey - early detection education, diagnosis, and survivorship. Finding breast cancer early is critical to survival, but many patients can't afford the cost of screening or diagnostic tests. By providing these services through our network of medical facilities, NBCF helps provide equal access to early detection services for uninsured or underinsured patients.
