A MYRIAD OF WAYS TO PROVIDE THE GIFT OF MAMMOGRAMS.

You've paid your rent, and you have $100 left. Do you buy groceries for your family or have a mammogram?

That's the decision lots of low-income women face annually, and the Rite Aid Women's Health Foundation wants to make it possible for them to do both.

For the 10th year, Mother's Day Mammograms will be offered to uninsured, low-income women in California, 23 other states and the District of Columbia. To inquire about a free mammogram, women can call [phone] toll-free until Thursday to make appointments.

Callers will be asked about their age (most candidates must be 40 or older), income, medical insurance and health condition to see whether they qualify for a free test. If they qualify, they'll be given a reference number and the name of a community health-care facility where they can get their free mammogram. The screenings are being provided free through the state Health Services Department and community hospitals.

Rite Aid also will sell for $2 each Mother's Day cards designed for American Greetings by celebrities Diahann Carroll, Daisy Fuentes and Peri Gilpin. Proceeds from the card sale fund the foundation's Mother's Day Mammogram program.

Once you've gotten a mammogram, you can get a Glam-O-Gram, a glamour photo sitting that benefits the nonprofit, Davis-based Wall of Hope Breast Cancer Survivors Project. The photo sittings - which come complete with professional hairdo and makeup, jewelry and glitzy drapes and boas - are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday at Nordstrom at the Topanga Plaza in Canoga Park. To sign up for a photo session, call [phone].

Cost, including beauty makeover, is $29.95. Any woman can sign up for a makeover and photo shoot, but only photos of breast cancer survivors will be placed on the Wall of Hope, a moving exhibit featuring photographs of breast cancer survivors.
