Sometimes it’s hard to ask for help, especially if you don’t know what you need. We get it.
That’s why we make it easy to get started at Gilda’s Club, so you can find the customized support you need in our warm, welcoming environment. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Anyone interested in joining Gilda’s Club, whether you are living with cancer, moving into post-treatment, a caregiver or have lost someone to cancer, must attend a Welcome Meeting. During our meeting we will connect you to Gilda’s Club programs and provide you with resources that meet your current needs and/or interests, our program has something for you.

If you’d prefer to schedule an in-person Welcome Meeting at the location of your choice, choose one of the following: schedule at the Davenport Clubhouse, schedule at the Moline Clubhouse, or schedule at our Clinton location.

Experience the Benefits
The benefits of our programs are manifold, offering a lifeline of emotional, educational, and social support to those affected by this challenging disease. By providing a safe space for open dialogue and shared experiences, Gilda’s community helps reduce the isolation that often accompanies a cancer diagnosis.
Gilda’s Club empowers members with knowledge and resources to better navigate their cancer journey, ultimately fostering a sense of hope, resilience, and a stronger sense of belonging in the face of adversity. Gilda’s Club Quad Cities is a beacon of light for those touched by cancer, emphasizing that no one has to face this battle alone.
