A NIGHT OF REMEMBRANCE

Our heartfelt thanks go out to the staff, volunteers, and donors who made this year’s reimagined Memorial Illumination event on December 11 so inspiring. Held in the outdoor space of our PJP office, the event drew over 100 community members, coming together to honor and remember their loved ones.

Attendees were greeted with acoustic guitar music provided by Clara George of the Front Porch. The program included a poetry reading from community volunteer Edith Huff-Fisher, a welcome from Jenn Downs, a thoughtful message from Nancy Littlefield, and a responsive reading from Kendall Cooke.

The event raised over $45,000 to support HOP’s end-of-life care and comprehensive grief services – thank you.

We invite you to relive this memorable evening through the images shared on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
