Hoax Alert!

There is a scammer who is pretending to be Ann’s Place staff and sending personal emails asking for gift cards and wire transfers. These emails are NOT from us. While we do sometimes ask for grocery or gas gift cards for our low income families facing cancer, we would always ask for them to be sent directly to Ann's Place and nowhere else. We NEVER ask for wire transfers or ask you to email us photos of gift cards. It is a shame that there are people out there that would emulate this for their own benefit. Feel free to email shannon@annsplace.org if you have any concerns about any correspondence or call our office directly at 203-790-6568.
