Enhancing and strengthening patient care through the power of pooled and targeted contributions

Join this special group of women today! The Women’s Giving Circle provides women with a unique opportunity to pool their individual annual $500 contribution and together, fund specific patient care needs of Hospice & Community Care. In 2021, 171 Women’s Giving Circle members funded 17 projects with $85,500 of pooled donations.

Join us for these upcoming events (please click on the event to register):

Hospice & Community Care’s Women’s Giving Circle began in 2004 with 24 women who joined together on a philanthropic journey to support Hospice & Community Care. The Circle has grown significantly since then and has raised nearly $750,000 since 2004 to support 198 Hospice & Community Care programs and projects.
