Since 2014, we have led an effort to bring support to those facing cancer in eastern Maine.

The Christine B. Foundation (CBF) is a non-profit, community-based service provider in Bangor, ME. Our mission is to support those facing cancer by extending access to healthy food, nutritional information, and community connections essential to their strength and comfort.

From your point of diagnosis, through treatment, and into survivorship, our staff and volunteers across Piscataquis, Penobscot, Hancock, and Washington Counties commit to providing no-cost services for you and your family.

Each year, 1,000-1,200 Mainers rely on CBF for cancer nutrition assistance, educational conferences, and individualized referral coordination. Cancer remains the leading cause of death in the State of Maine. We’re proud to work with partners and align our work to address the rising incidence and mortality rates of rural Maine communities.

We envisions a world in which nutrition is a standard of care for everyone diagnosed with cancer. In collaboration with a robust network of mission-aligned volunteers, businesses, healthcare providers, and community partners, CBF will deepen understanding of nutrition's vital importance in removing barriers to care and treating cancer.

“Nearly 1 in 5 cancers are caused by poor diet and physical inactivity (ACS). Here at CBF, we know access to healthy foods and nutritional information will save lives. Join us.”
