Join us in promoting positivity, raising awareness of the important work that Hope Hospice does in our community, and asking others to support us in our next 40 years of service with a donation that helps provide compassionate end-of-life care and family support to all in need.
The campaign launches on October 18, exactly 40 days before Thanksgiving, creating a time period in which you'll post daily on your social media and/or talk about people, places, activities, books, and whatever else brings a smile to your face. We hope the experience is uplifting and provides an opportunity to take a posture of gratitude as we enter the Thanksgiving season and wind down a year that was full of unusual challenges.
