Overview

Mission

We have all been touched by cancer in some way and many have struggled with the day to day reality of the disease. We can offer support to those who are battling cancer so that no one has to fight this disease alone.

What it reported doing in 2025

Popcares inc was established in honor and memory of bill pop st. Pierre who taught us all the importance of sharing small acts of kindness with others on a daily basis. Pop and his family were fortunate to have the support of each other as well as friends during his battle with cancer. It is the mission of popcares inc to ensure that every person fighting cancer and their caregiver in our local community has the opportunity to benefit from that same level of support. Here are some of the ways that popcares inc will help: gift certificates or checks small acts of kindness and support through cards and flowers.

Operating model
