Free Programs & Services
BCA, Inc. offers a variety of free programs and services designed to support local individuals navigating breast cancer. Funded by grants, donations, and community events, we provide crucial educational resources, emotional care, and practical survivorship essentials. We assist with early detection for uninsured individuals. We also operate a full-service wig boutique, providing wigs, care kits and scarves to ALL cancer patients who are experiencing hair loss.

We understand that cancer impacts more than just the body—it can disrupt your life and peace of mind. That’s why we’re here to walk alongside you, offering support beyond medical care. Having a compassionate community and access to essential resources can make all the difference in your journey toward healing and recovery.
Mammograms
BCA offers uninsured individuals the opportunity to receive a mammogram at no charge. If further follow-up testing is needed, BCA will cover the expenses for one ultrasound per year. Guidelines apply.
Moving Forward
Newly diagnosed individuals receive after-surgery information and supplies from a BCA staff person to aid in recovery from breast cancer surgery and treatments. These include a Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook, an after-surgery heart pillow, a Cuddl Duds camisole for radiation patients, and post-surgical bras. This support aims to assist in their recovery journey.
Dinner’s Ready Gift Cards
Restaurant and grocery store gift cards are given to breast cancer patients while they are going through chemotherapy and radiation treatments. By alleviating some of the burdens of daily life, we hope to offer comfort and nourishment to those bravely battling breast cancer.
Special Needs Program
The Special Needs Assistance Program is designed to help those impacted by breast cancer while in active treatment. Assistance can be provided for basic living expenses, such as mortgage, rent, utility bills, etc. (Guidelines apply.)
Scholarship Program
The Breast Cancer Awareness, Inc. Scholarship Fund supports individuals in Western Maryland, the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, and Franklin and Fulton Counties, Pennsylvania, whose lives have been affected by breast cancer, either personally or through a loved one.
For Our Kids Program
This program caters to the children of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients by providing age-specific care packages. Each child receives items like a teddy bear, coloring sheets, and a book about their parent’s diagnosis. These packages aim to open up communication within the family and help the child better understand their parent’s diagnosis.
Monthly Support Group
Sessions allow patients and their families to share stories, concerns, and questions. Our support group meets the 2nd Monday of each month at 6PM. Click here to check all BCA upcoming events.
