ACCO connects childhood cancer families with local support organizations and resources through their comprehensive national directory. They run a 24-hour online peer support community where parents can find other families going through similar experiences, plus educational materials and books about childhood cancer types, treatments, and survivor issues.

The organization offers practical resources like their Comfort Kits, medical play materials, and educational tools to help families navigate diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. They also provide advocacy support and maintain extensive information about clinical trials, treatment centers, and late effects. Their multilingual resources include Spanish-language materials about different types of childhood cancers.

ACCO focuses on empowering families with knowledge and connections rather than direct financial assistance, serving as a central hub to help families find the specific local and national resources they need during their cancer journey.
