Our work
Community generosity allows us to support the people, programs and places that make compassionate end-of-life care possible.
Patient & family support
Charitable funds help address hospice-related needs that can make a difficult time more manageable. Historically, support has included comfort-related items, meals, travel assistance and other practical resources for local patients and families.
Education & volunteer support
We promote public awareness of end-of-life care, support bereavement education, and recognize the volunteers whose presence and service bring comfort to families.
Community Hospice Garden
The Community Hospice Garden at Veterans Memorial Park in Lowville offers a peaceful setting for remembrance. The Friends help support and maintain this shared community space.
Fundraising & memorial giving
Programs such as Epicurean Delight and Light Up a Life invite residents and local businesses to give, gather and honor loved ones while supporting hospice care close to home.
Comfort Care Home exploration
The organization has publicly explored the feasibility of a home-like setting for Lewis County hospice patients who need additional support. This remains a planning initiative that depends on community collaboration, due diligence and funding.
