SONOMA COUNTY KIDNEY CRISIS FOUNDATION - kidneycrisis.org

The Sonoma County Kidney Crisis Foundation is a local volunteer organization which provides financial support to kidney disease patients who are in need. Your support dollar goes entirely to help your neighbors manage this difficult condition.

 

SCKCF was established in 1972 by the family of a dialysis patient.  This family recognized the numerous issues that kidney patients face every day and sought a way to help.
