The Valkyrie Care Group supports people who have been diagnosed with cancer by providing them with special care bags. 

The bags include items that help with the discomfort of cancer treatment.

Volunteers were presented with certificates of appreciation on Tuesday.

Otis Foundation events and fundraising co-ordinator Rachel Mason said the foundation had a retreat in Mandurang and units across the state.

She said the properties were used by families affected by cancer as a place to escape and have a holiday.

"Since we started the group has been supplying us with the bags," she said. 

"They are so thoughtful and we appreciate all the work that they do. A lot of thought and co-ordination goes into what they do."

The Valkyrie Care Group also distribute bags to men and women at St John of God Hospital and the Bendigo Health Care Group.
