SOS invites you to visit the SOS Breast Cancer Lingerie Closet and UCD Resource Library. This is a collaborative cancer support service of SOS and UCD, available for all those with cancer and for those supporting someone with cancer. All items are without cost regardless of where a patient is or has been treated.

The SOS Lingerie Closet has a beautiful selection of new and gently-used items such as bras, breast forms, camisoles, hats, wigs and other miscellaneous items. When you find something you like, you are welcome to take it with you.

At the UCD Resource Center you may choose from any of the books, pamphlets, CDs, DVDs and publications on a wide variety of health-related topics. Donations of lingerie items, wigs, hats and library materials are greatly appreciated. We look forward to being of help to you.

For more information, questions, or assistance please contact the SOS office at (916)786-HOPE (4673) or the SOS Helpline. To email a message please see the “Contact Us” section on this site.

The SOS Helpline is available 24-hours, around the clock for those who want to speak with someone else who has breast cancer, those in need of information and help in understanding their breast cancer and for those seeking a caring, supportive contact.

Any day, any hour of the day a caller in need can reach a trained peer counsellor. All helpline volunteers have been through their own breast cancer experience. They are familiar with informational and local resources, can help in the decision making process, are able to discuss good use of the health care system, can offer information about patient rights, and give encouragement and suggestions for the difficult, life changing diagnosis of breast cancer.

Telephone the Save Ourselves helpline at (916) 448-5432 or toll free at (800) 422-9747
