All donations are used to impact the lives of local patients and families under our care by meeting needs and opportunities that fall outside the scope of insurance coverage. Past and present Family Hospice grants have provided needed support for the following:
If you are a family member whose loved one was in the care of Family Hospice, you can choose to honor that person’s life by asking for memorial gifts to benefit Family Hospice. All donations benefit future patients and families in our community.

Lights of Love is a tribute event that takes place each year during the holiday season. For those whose loved ones have passed away, the holidays can be a time of marked sadness.
Remembering our loved ones and including them in our holiday observances keeps them alive in our hearts and celebrates their legacy.
Lights of Love invites you to “shine your own special light” in honor or memory of someone dear to you. Trees are lit in Altoona and Ebensburg with white lights to represent our Family Hospice program and blue lights to represent grief services for children, adults, and families.
All gifts benefit Family Hospice and grief services.
