Thank you!
Let us start with a heartfelt thank you for your continued support and generosity. It’s because of you that we are able to build on our successes from year to year. And what a year it’s been! Take a look at all we’ve accomplished in 2024.
At Angels for Hospice, our goal is to continue providing the quality, compassionate and personalized care our families truly need. Last year your donations contributed to $75,000 raised. We’re asking for your help again this year. As always, we will match any donation you generously offer.
Our new ‘Homemakers’ Program
Angels for Hospice wanted to create a program for individuals interested in furthering their careers in hospice work. What better place to start than with employees of Angels Grace Hospice & Palliative Care.
We opened the program by offering three employees the opportunity to become ‘Homemakers.’ Homemakers are pursuing Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) accreditation, and their responsibilities include supporting our patients with light housekeeping and bed changing, hair and nail care, safety and hygiene, companionship, attending activities, and more.
The charity pays for their education and we are proud to announce that two of our first three Homemakers have already become CNAs!

Enclosed you will find a donation in memory of our mom. Her care, although short in duration, was exceptional, particularly when considering the impact of the pandemic. Debi and the others for Angels Grace Hospice & Palliative Care were so gracious in their care for mom, and their communication with the family was a blessing to us all. We couldn’t have been more pleased with how mom was cared for in her last days. We hope Angels Grace and all of your staff stay well and continue to do the amazing work that you do.
