Women Supporting Women is a community served, community supported agency serving the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Its mission is to provide awareness, friendship and support for breast cancer survivors and their family.

“We are extremely proud to help such a great organization as Women Supporting Women. Everyone has known someone in his or her life who has faced breast cancer. We invite the community to come down to our 12 stores and donate to this worthy cause,” said Dick Livingston, vice president of Rommel Holdings, based in Fruitland.

Scrolls will be placed at each location for people to sign with messages of hope.
Women Supporting Women offers a safe, supportive environment, open to all women and men who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. They offer free wigs and supplemental mastectomy products and help for those facing breast cancer, as well as breast cancer survivors. The organization is non-affiliated. All funding remains on the Eastern Shore and the organization serves people of all ages, races, religions, incomes and backgrounds.

WSW invites survivors in all stages and with all treatment options, and accepts referrals from physicians, family, friends, and survivors.
