Day of Caring 2013

On September 10, the United Way Day of Caring brought out over 320 volunteers from 54 companies and organizations, adopting 77 projects for various nonprofit agencies in Marshall County. Hospice of Marshall County is both a partner and a supported agency of United Way, so while we received some much needed help from community, we gave back by gathering supplies for the Child Advocacy Center, the Foster and Adoptive Parents Association and James' House, collecting phone cards for the American red Cross, and some of our staff read to children at local schools.

THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered for Hospice of Marshall County and to the employees of HMC who gave their time or donations to charities within our community! It's so great to live in a community where so many are willing to give their time to meaningful causes.
