Community Hospice Joins the Global #GivingTuesday Movement

MODESTO, CA (November 7, 2017) – Community Hospice, has joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Occurring this year on November 28, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the US) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday to kick off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.

Community Hospice joined #GivingTuesday to spread awareness of their mission of providing compassion and quality care, education and support to terminally ill patients and their families, regardless of ability to pay and hopes to inspire others to volunteer their time, talent, and/or treasure to ensure that Community Hospice is able to fulfill the needs of the community.

“Each year, the global impact of #GivingTuesday truly inspires me,” says the Director of the Community Hospice Foundation, Monica Ojcius. “It is an honor to bring this international philanthropic event to our community. What better a way to embrace the season of giving than to give back to a nonprofit that serves your friends, neighbors and family?”
