Sankofa Cancer Program

The Sankofa Cancer Program was designed and developed by SCDC and subsequently underwritten in partnership with the Robert Woods Foundation in response to the alarming reports of cancer within our area. With this in mind, SCDC has implemented the "Faith In Action" program, which incorporates faith-based organizations of many denominations to service those dealing with the effects of cancer.

The Sankofa Cancer Program was developed to identify and provide volunteer "home-based" care giving to include in-home visitation, telephone reassurance, transportation, light housekeeping chores, home repairs, shopping, light errands and companionship.
