Community Bank Supports the Fund for Hope

The employees at Community Bank in Lowville presented a check to the Lewis County Hospital Foundation to support the Fund for Hope.  Bank staff were awarded credits for their volunteer hours, and they selected the Fund for Hope to receive a donation of $1,000.   In 2023 the Fund for Hope gave out over $50,000 to support cancer patients with their treatment travel expenses. 

The Fund for Hope supports local cancer patients who live in Lewis County or use the services of the Lewis County Health System with travel expenses related to their cancer treatment.  Cancer patients may receive up to $1,000 annually to pay for gas, tolls, hotels, and food for the patient while traveling.  The Fund for Hope does not pay medical expenses or medication costs. Applications for the Fund for Hope are available at www.LewisCountyHospitalFoundation.org or by calling 315-375-5110.  No financial information is required.
