Gilda’s Club Delaware Valley provides a meeting place where men, women and children living with cancer, and their family and friends, can join together to build social and emotional support as a supplement to medical care – free of charge.

People with cancer: From the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond, the effects of cancer aren’t only physical – there is a profound emotional and social impact as well. Joining a community of people who have experienced cancer first-hand can decrease the sense of isolation and empower you as you live with cancer.

Their family and friends: The impact of cancer extends beyond the person who has been diagnosed. Learning to balance the need to provide care and support with everyday responsibilities is something no one should have to face alone.

People who are grieving: When a loved one dies, communicating feelings of grief and loss can be very difficult. Talking with others who are going through the grieving process is often beneficial.

Children and Teens: Noogieland is a place where children and teens affected by cancer can express their feelings in a friendly, facilitated age-appropriate environment.
