Why it Matters All proceeds from Handbags for Hospice go directly towards our Hospice Services and the many different forms of support we provide to those who have ever lost a loved one, and to ease the journey through critical illness and grief. We believe that no one should have to walk this journey alone. Last year, staff at Hospice Services delivered over 9,309 hours of palliative care and grief support to 813 clients and their families. Hospice supports clients through more than 40% of all annual deaths in our community. Help us continue to do so.
