Funeral Homes from across Chatham-Kent have come together to donate $36,800 to the Chatham-Kent Hospice project.
Working directly with families in their time of need, they can see firsthand the need for a residential hospice in our community and want to support this important initiative.
“Our community’s funeral homes have been helping our families deal with end-of-life concerns for years and their support of our community hospice is another example of how they continue to support us in some of our most vulnerable hours.” Jennifer Wilson – Chair, Chatham-Kent Hospice
This donation will be part of the $250,000 goal of the Thanks For Giving Community Campaign.
The total amount raised for the Community Campaign will be announced on Wednesday, October 15th us that morning from 7 – 9 am to learn more about the project and show their support.
