Your Support Sets Us Apart

Community Hospices got its start in 1888 through the foresight and generosity of volunteers and donors. We are grateful for the continued philanthropy that has benefited the people and families of the communities we have served for more than a century. Your support allows us to maintain and continue the high quality standard of care that forms the foundation of our work.

Community Hospices is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization. In addition to Community Hospices, our organization includes The Washington Home and The Washington Home Center for Palliative Care Studies, our research and quality improvement group that is dedicated to helping improve the quality of life near the end of life.

If you desire, you may direct a contribution in support of one or all parts of our organization:

• Community Hospices
  
• The Washington Home
  

There are so many ways to support our efforts. You can make a monetary contribution, donate your car or select from a variety of planned gift options. You may even be willing to donate your time as a volunteer.
