Michelle's Place Cancer Resource Center

April brings awareness to Testicular Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, and Head and Neck Cancer.

These cancers often develop quietly, which is why awareness and early detection matter. Knowing your risk factors, paying attention to changes in your body, and talking with your doctor about screenings can make a life-saving difference.

Congratulations to all of the incredible honorees recognized at the 60th Annual Awards Gala. It’s inspiring to stand alongside individuals, businesses, and organizations who give so much of themselves to strengthen our community.

We are truly humbled and deeply grateful to the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce for naming Michelle's Place Cancer Resource Center the Emerald Organization of the Year. This recognition means so much to our team, our volunteers, and the families we serve.

To be included among such dedicated and impactful leaders is an honor. We share this moment with our entire community, because everything we do is rooted in the belief that no one should face cancer alone.

Congratulations again to all of this year’s award recipients. We’re proud to celebrate alongside you.

Throwback Thursday to 2019, when Michelle’s Place purchased our forever home in Temecula.

This milestone gave us room to grow and expand services to support individuals facing all types of cancer. What started as a small space with a big mission became a place of comfort, resources, and community for even more families.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come and grateful to the supporters who make this possible.
