As the year draws to a close, we at Tri-Cities Chaplaincy have been reflecting on the privilege of serving our community members during some of life’s most delicate and critical moments. You made it possible for us to provide comfort, dignity, and peace to those at the last stage of life and those coping with grief.

In 2024:

• Our team has served more than 900 patients and their families.
• Our chaplains have delivered over 2,200 hours of support in our local hospitals and throughout our community.
• Our bereavement team has reached more than 1,700 community members.
• Our Cork’s Place Kids Grief Center team has helped more than 200 children and their grown-ups and led over 100 community grief workshops.

There’s more to be done. As we look to the new year, we aim to expand our efforts for home hospice services to reach more patients throughout Benton & Franklin counties. In 2025, we will begin much-needed upgrades to our Hospice House facility, as it is the only inpatient hospice facility in Benton and Franklin counties and is crucial for hospice patients that need this service. We will also further invest in and grow our robust bereavement program, including Cork’s Place Kids Grief Center.

Your gift makes these goals a reality. A donation of:

• $50 allows a community member to participate in a grief support group at no charge to the participant.
• $100 funds a pinning ceremony for a veteran patient, where we can honor their service to our country.
• $250 sponsors a child at Cork’s Place, where they gain tools and resources for coping with grief.
• $350 covers a month of soup service at our Hospice House.

Families depend on Tri-Cities Chaplaincy, and we depend on you. 

Your generosity ensures that no one faces their end-of-life journey alone. Your contribution, no matter the size, allows us to continue our mission of empowering our community members to live their best lives, even and especially through the end of life with compassionate end-of-life and bereavement care to all who need it. Thank you for making a gift of compassion this season.
