Frederick Health Hospice

The mission of Frederick Health Hospice is to positively impact the well-being of every individual in our community affected by serious illness, grief, and loss. The TowerCares grant will support Project Christine, a weekly grief support group for families who have experienced the death of a child. Services are provided to the families at no cost. Funds will be used to provide dinner at weekly meetings for a year. By offering dinner at no cost to families who attend, it is one less thing grieving parents must worry about. Research has found that people who eat socially are more likely to feel better about themselves and have a wider social network that provides emotional support.
