About

The Christine B. Foundation (CBF) is a non-profit, community-based service provider in Bangor, ME. The organization's mission to build a community of support for those facing cancer has been backed by broad community investments since its inception in 2014. Every year, 1,000-1,200 Mainers rely on CBF for cancer nutrition assistance, educational conferences, and individualized referral coordination.
