We're Here for you
Pink Hands of Hope is a thrift store and non-profit organization committed to supporting women fighting breast cancer in Central Pennsylvania. Our mission is to enhance the lives of those affected by breast cancer by offering free products and services. We are dedicated to positively impacting our community and those in need.
If you are a cancer patient—or walking alongside someone who is—please know you are not alone. We invite you to visit our Programs Page to explore the full list of services and support available. From financial assistance to practical resources and encouragement, our programs are designed to ease the burden and provide help when it’s needed most.
If you’ve driven past Pink Hands of Hope lately, you may have noticed our PHOH Signs of Hope proudly displayed in front of our Thrift Store!
These special signs are a beautiful way to HONOR the cancer survivors and thrivers in our lives and REMEMBER those we’ve lost.
We’ll be displaying them not only at the store, but also at select events throughout October — including our THRIVER Day later this month!
For just $25, you can purchase a Sign of Hope and choose “In Honor Of” or “In Memory Of” someone special.
There’s still time to get your sign displayed throughout October — but don’t wait - the deadline is quickly approaching!
Donna's Story
Our History
Pink Hands of Hope was founded in 2009 by Brian and Laurie Gaughan. After Laurie was diagnosed with breast cancer, they struggled to get the financial assistance needed and were burdened with a huge financial debt due to medical bills. They vowed to help others struggling with the same financial situation and Pink Hands of Hope was born.
​
They started a thrift store to help fund various programs. Pink Hands has grown yearly, increasing the number of people who helped and adapting programs to meet the ever-changing needs of those they serve.
​
Since 2009, we've assisted over 5,000 patients, but our success relies on the support of our community.
