Donate: How you can support Hospicare

When you support the mission of Hospicare, you help give terminally ill people the opportunity to spend the end of their lives peacefully, meaningfully, and without pain. Securing the future of Hospicare and Palliative Care Services is a way to make an important contribution to our community. You may also honor the memory of your loved ones while also helping others.

We strive to make it easy for you to support this important work in the way that works best for you. Perhaps you want to become part of our wonderful Women Swimmin' event. Maybe you feel called to find a way to honor a loved one through our Memory Walk at the Nina K. Miller Hospicare Center. You may want to make a direct gift online or think about whether your financial legacy should include Hospicare.
