Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union Awards Home Health & Hospice Care $2,024 for National Nonprofit Day
LOWELL, MA (August 19, 2024) – Home Health & Hospice Care was selected as the winner of Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union’s National Nonprofit Day campaign. The organization received a $2,024 donation as the winning prize. National Nonprofit Day was celebrated on Saturday, August 17.
The campaign, which is part of Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union’s Small Acts That Give Back initiative, ran from July 15 through August 2. Community members nominated their favorite local 501(c) (3) nonprofits for the chance to win a $2,024 donation.
Home Health & Hospice Care dates back to 1883 and was founded on the belief that people deserve to be cared for with dignity, respect, and compassion, regardless of their finances, insurance, or access to other resources. In addition to providing in-home hospice care to families across southern New Hampshire, they also operate the Community Hospice House. The Community Hospice House is a residential facility featuring 16 private living quarters and fully staffed by a team of healthcare professionals.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to receive this generous donation from our friends at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union; this support is crucial in supporting our Access To Care Programs,” remarked Paula J. Telage, Director of Corporate Giving at Home Health & Hospice Care. “These funds will allow us to care for even more patients in our Community Hospice House, giving their loved ones the opportunity to focus on sharing precious time together rather than devoting all of their energy to being primary caregivers. Your support helps us continue to provide much needed compassionate care when needed most. It really does make all the difference.”
“The work being done by the staff at Home Health and Hospice Care touches the lives of so many, and at such a critical time,” said Mark S. Cochran, President and Chief Executive Officer at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. “We are grateful for what they bring to the community and we’re happy that our program can help to further their mission.”
