Your donation would then sponsor the grief support work that takes place in New Hope’s facility that month in memory of your loved one.
Benefits include a 12×16 canvas photo, and sharing your loved one’s photo our Facebook page, website, and annual report.

October is the time that many companies ask employees to make a contribution to the United Way. Many people don’t know that they can designate a local charity to be the recipient of their United Way contribution. If you’d like New Hope Center for Grief Support to receive your donation, check with your Human Resource Department to see what you need to do, then let us know so that we can add you to our list of United Way contributors. Another way that some of you can double your contribution to New Hope is to request that your employer match your tax-deductible gift to us. Many employers have matching gift programs, but few employees actually take advantage of this opportunity.
