Circle of Hope has temporarily suspended in-person services out of their office and wellness center in Newhall, but the organization is still providing service online, officials said Thursday.  

Circle of Hope is offering its services and programs remotely, and is available by email or phone to help serve and meet the needs of those with cancer in the Santa Clarita Valley, according to a statement from the nonprofit.

“COVID-19 has not stopped cancer or the need for cancer treatment or services in our community, and it will not stop Circle of Hope either,” said Executive Director Laura Kirchhoff in a statement Thursday. “We will continue to be here for all of our clients and those with cancer in our community to provide the services and programs that our organization provides.” 

Circle of Hope is offering modified classes and programs to those with cancer in Santa Clarita online through Facebook Live and Zoom, according to officials. 

Circle of Hope provides 36 different wellness therapies, all completely free of charge to those diagnosed with cancer, cancer survivors, their families and caregivers. Additionally, the nonprofit offers a cancer support group and financial assistance to those in need to help pay for their treatments, co-pays, deductibles, medications and other medical costs related to their cancer diagnosis, according to officials. 

The cancer support group is set to meet through Zoom until it is safe for them to resume meeting again in person at the wellness center, and the organization plans to continue to provide financial assistance to those in need of help paying for their cancer-related medical bills. 

“Circle of Hope has always been supported by our community, and in these unprecedented times, and with the postponement of our spring fundraiser, we are asking our community to continue to support those struggling to pay for their cancer treatments by making a donation to Circle of Hope so we can continue to have the funds available to help those in need,” Kirchhoff said. 

Circle of Hope also has sponsorship opportunities for companies and individuals available for their fall fundraisers: Vine 2 Wine on Aug. 15 and The Annual Afternoon Tea on Oct. 3. 

For information on their free virtual programs and classes, to join a support group or to receive sponsorship information, contact Circle of Hope at info@circleofhopeinc.org or 661-254-5218. 

Donations can be made through the Circle of Hope website.
