KOMAK is an all-volunteer Portland-area 501(c)3 charity providing financial assistance to
cancer patients who are unable to work during their treatment.
We help with the bills of daily life so that patients can stay in their home, eat well, and pay
their utilities while they focus on getting better and returning to work.

  • Join us Oct 5th for a delightful celebration of the bountiful autumn season at our first Autumn Harvest Festival! Featuring live jazz music, a cajun shrimp boil, harvest grape stomp, a chip and putt contest and so much more.

  • Komak is pleased to announce that we have received a grant to expand our service by developing a volunteer program and a cancer resource catalog. Funding for this project is provided in part by the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Community Partnership Program.
