Breast Cancer Support Services of Berks County (BCSS) is a survivor- driven non-profit organization that provides hope, information and emotional support to every person affected by breast cancer. A breast cancer diagnosis can dramatically change one’s life; that is when BCSS steps in. Each year over 300 women and up to 5 men in Berks County are diagnosed with breast cancer. One in eight women will hear the words “you have breast cancer” in their lifetime. We have been providing support groups and resources since 1994, reminding our community that they are not alone on their journey. All of the programs and services that we offer are invaluable, as such they have always been and will remain free to all breast cancer survivors, their family members and caregivers. Programs and services include:

African American Support Group Comfort Bags Contact a Survivor Counseling Assistance Program Creative Writing El Poder del Rosado

Fitting Room (prostheses, bras and wigs) FORCE Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered Lending Library Lunch & Learn METAvivor Peer2Peer
