“The beth c. Wright cancer resource center has a copy of forms 990, a copy of the bylaws and organization policies at its center in ellsworth, maine. These documents are available to the public upon request.”

“The beth c. Wright center offers a variety of programs and services for people living with cancer in hancock and washington counties in maine. These programs are also offered to family members, caregivers, and friends of people diagnosed with cancer and also to interested community members. All of these programs are offered at no charge at our center in ellsworth and other location in hancock and washington counties. These programs include classes in reiki, yoga, therapeutic exercises, reflexology, and other complementary therapies. The center also facilitates support groups for people living with cancer in ellsworth and other communities in down east maine. The center adapted and responded well to the covid-19 pandemic. The center moved many of its programs online within just a few days of when it shut its door to the public. We were able to put our yoga and exercise classes, our support groups, our nutrition classes, and our cooking classes online. Attendance at classes at the beginning of the pandemic was larger than pre-pandemic. People from outside our service area were also able to participate. However, the pandemic, despite our best efforts has had an impact on our service to the people we serve. A major reason the center was created was to fight the negative impacts of social isolation for cancer surcicors. In 2021 the center will make an effort to reach out to those affected by the pandemic.”
