After approval from the board of trustees, Cancer Support Community Montana will expand and add a physical location in Helena.
Established in 2004, the non-profit currently has chapters in Missoula and Bozeman, while Helena has been operating as a chapter-in-development.
Now that members have voted to become a full chapter, they’re looking to find a permanent space in Helena where people can gather for support and connection.
Recent data shows nearly 600 people in the Helena area are diagnosed with cancer each year.
The non-profit offers free support programs with the goal of fostering community and breaking down barriers to care.
