Let’s Spring Into 2025!
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is with deep gratitude and commitment that I write this letter to our hospice community. At Hospice Volunteers of Somerset County we believe in the profound dignity of every person, and our mission is centered on delivering comfort, care, and respect to all. We understand that each person’s journey is unique, and our team of dedicated professionals and volunteers works tirelessly to ensure that no one faces their end of life journey alone.
We partner with the Maine Hospice Council, Maine General Hospice, Redington- Fairview General Hospital, Maine Association of Non-Profits and others to ensure we are actively engaged with best practices and the using the highest standards of care to meet the needs of our clients.
We have recently received planning grants from Maine Health Access Foundation (MeHAF), and AmeriCorp, a generous grant from the Maine Community Foundation, and are partnering with Vista Volunteers in 2025-2026. These are very exciting times and we look forward to all the great opportunities these grants will provide us that we may support the many communities throughout Somerset County.
We rely on the generosity of individuals, families, foundations, towns and businesses to continue to provide high-quality care. Your contributions enable us to maintain our services and extend our reach to those with a life limiting illness, regardless of their financial situation.
Thank you for your continued support of our mission. Whether you are here as a donor, a volunteer, a patient, or a family member, know that you are an integral part of the Hospice Volunteers of Somerset County family. Together, we can create a community of compassion and care that makes a profound impact in the lives of those we serve.
With gratitude,
Linda MacKenzie
Board Chair
