Your Gift Makes a Difference!

Each year, Hospice of Little Traverse Bay touches hundreds of lives, cushioning the emotional stress and grief surrounding a loved one's death. We believe strongly in what we do and that hospice care in our community is making a lasting difference in the lives of many people.

The services hospice provides are made possible each year through generous charitable contributions. Without community support, our services like the children's bereavement program and adult grief support groups, would be limited.

Safe Crossing’s Community Grief and Loss Support Groups are funded soley by donations.  This program serves over 2,500 people on a yearly basis and costs approximately $75,000 a year to provide these services.  Your support makes a difference!

Memorial Gifts

One of the most meaningful ways to support hospice is by designating Hospice of Little Traverse Bay as recipient of memorial gifts. In this way, family members and friends can help to ensure that those in need receive the special care they deserve.

As part of the campaign to raise funds for Hiland Cottage, HOLTB is offering the community an opportunity to be a lasting part of the hospice residence.

These tribute opportunities give donors the opportunity to remember special individuals with a memorial or tribute gift. A commemorative gift honors a loved one’s life and serves to reflect upon the memories that live forever. A gift made in honor of an individual recognizes a person who has had a special impact on your life. Gifts are also made in honor of birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and other special occasions.

For a gift of $150 or $300 you may purchase a brick in honor or memory of a loved one, in recognition of your family or friends as a lasting tribute to be placed in the walkway outside Hiland Cottage, in the memorial garden and on future walking paths.

All gifts will be used to support operational expenses of Hiland Cottage. No gift is too small and every gift makes a big difference!

Bricks are ordered annually and place in the walkway in the summer.
