HELP US SUPPORT GRIEVING CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY
At Hospice Northwest, we strive to help our clients make every moment matter by offering comfort, support and a sense of connection to families and clients who are dealing with a life limiting illness or struggling with grief.
Hospice Northwest is a non-profit community hospice organization that began in 1986 as the Thunder Bay Community Palliative Care Volunteers. We are honoured to serve approximately 450 end-of-life clients and their families each year.
Hospice Northwest is a hospice without walls. We define hospice as a philosophy of care, rather than a place. Our specially trained palliative care volunteers provide emotional and spiritual support for clients and their families in their homes, hospitals or long-term-care facilities.
Funds from our Fall 2022 50/50 Cash Raffle will be used to support our HUUG Children's Grief Program. When you buy a raffle ticket, your contribution will help HNW provide local children with the tools and resources they need to understand their feelings of grief and develop healthy coping strategies after a loss.
