Connecting community with children's wishes to spread holiday cheer
Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is an annual program that offers help to families during the Christmas season. The program is offered to children and/or siblings (18 or younger living at home) of an active MPCS client. In our office, we have a Christmas tree filled with ornaments which feature a child's wish, age, and gender on it. Generous individuals, families, or groups in the community pull one or more ornaments from our Giving Tree. They shop for items and return unwrapped gifts to our office. (All wishes/gifts should be within the $35 limit.)
Elevating confidence through wigs and head coverings
Hope
Chest
Ever wanted to be a platinum blonde or a sassy red head? One of our Service Coordinators can help you choose a wig that best suits your personality and style. Our HOPE CHEST room is a beautiful place dedicated to providing wigs, hats, scarves and turbans to those who have lost or will lose their hair due to cancer treatment.
Fittings and post-operative comfort through mastectomy items
Mastectomy Items
Whether you have had a lumpectomy, partial mastectomy, or a double mastectomy, MPCS has an entire room dedicated to fitting anyone in need of a bra and/or prosthesis. We offer the SOFTEE which is a post-operative camisole that can be worn directly over bandages or compression garments. It includes a pocket to store post-surgical drain bulbs, and it can be adjusted to accommodate changes during reconstruction. We also offer a collection of thoughtful items to make life easier for breast cancer patients post-surgery.
Enhancing well-being with essential medical equipment

MPCS is able to provide a variety of medical supplies including tracheotomy cleaning kits, ostomy and urostomy supplies, disposable briefs, bed liners, LMX cream, dressings, bandages, gloves, and more.

Tips, Websites & Books
Being a caregiver to a loved one can be one of the most challenging experiences as well as one of the most rewarding experiences someone can have.
Having support is vital for caregivers to remain emotionally and physically healthy. The suggestions below are to help you stay healthy! Remember, these are only suggestions, and you are the expert on what works (and doesn't work) for you. In other words, utilize the information you need and leave the rest.
Doctor-prescribed supplements to enhance nutrient intake
Nutritional Supplements
During treatment, the body is working unusually hard to fight cancer cells and attend to the damaged healthy cells. For clients who are not able to maintain a healthy weight or are in need of extra nutrients, with a doctor's prescription, we offer a variety of flavors of Ensure, Ensure Plus and Glucerna supplements.
Streamline your cancer care with an all-in-one journal
Patient Navigation Notebooks
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming to everyone who is involved. Developed by a MPCS board member and caregiver, a PNN is a comprehensive cancer journal that helps assist in organizing key elements of your medical care. With this notebook, you can keep track of doctors, appointments, treatment schedules, medications, important notes and more.
Packed with essential items to ease treatment side effects
Treatment Care Kit
The Treatment Care Kit contains useful items that will help you during chemotherapy and/or radiation. These items are recommended by Acadiana oncologists to assist in managing the side effects that you may experience. We've included items that help with oral care, skin care, and general health care.
