The
Baskets of Hope Program is designed to touch each hospice patient we
serve in a unique way. A Basket of Hope is filled with items designed to
relieve the stress during this challenging time in their lives. It
includes soothing music, lotions and lip balm, a rice pack for cooling
or warming aches and pains, books, herbal teas and much more. Lovingly
assembled by hospice volunteers, each basket helps to celebrate the
lives of those touched by hospice.
