    Writing From the Heart: Become A Hospice Penpal

    Are you looking for a heartfelt way to give back and connect with others? Become a remote penpal for a hospice patient! Many of our patients would love to receive cards filled with warmth, positivity and a friendly voice.

    As a penpal, your letters will bring a special light into the lives of those facing serious illness. Just a few words can make a huge difference, offering comfort, joy, and companionship.

    How it works:

    • Cards, envelopes and stamps are provided
    • Share stories, poems, encouraging messages, or whatever brings a smile.

    Anyone with a caring heart and a desire to make a difference has the power to touch a life through this unique opportunity.
