Brighten Someone's Day with Handmade Cards!
Join Sanctuary Hospice for a meaningful Day of Service this MLK Day, on Monday, January 20, 2025 at 12 PM EST, for our 6th Annual Virtual Card Workshop!

Use your creative talents to craft cards of encouragement that will bring joy and comfort to our hospice patients across Northeast Ohio. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just love spreading kindness, your handmade or digital cards can make a big difference in reducing social isolation for those we serve in Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Ashtabula, Medina, Summit, Portage, Trumbull, Mahoning, Columbiana, Stark, and Wayne Counties.

During this virtual event, we’ll share:

  • Creative tips for making upcycled cards with materials you already have at home.
  • Insights about hospice care and the meaningful role of volunteers.
  • Exciting ways to get involved with Sanctuary Hospice in 2025.

Craft from the comfort of your home and mail or deliver your creations to our Cleveland, Akron or Canfield offices. We also welcome digital cards!

Join us in spreading love and hope this MLK Day. Together, we can make a heartfelt impact!

Mission Statement

Patients and Families Come First The mission of Sanctuary Hospice is to understand and help guide our patients’ quest for a rewarding quality of life in their final days and to help their circle of family and friends support them in life and grieve for them in death. Sanctuary pledges to provide expert hospice care for the comfort and dignity of the terminally ill by addressing their individual physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Sanctuary Hospice serves as a resource to the community for end-of-life care and related issues and seeks to provide care for all appropriate patients and families who need hospice services regardless of ability to pay.

Description

Hospice Volunteers come from all walks of life, yet they all share a common desire-to enrich their own lives and the lives of others by giving generously of their time, energy and talents. Volunteers are an integral part of our hospice team. Once trained they may work in several areas: Administrative, Direct Patient Care Visitation for companionship and support, Bereavement support, Pet therapy, Music Therapy and many other Special Alternative Complementary services.
