More About 12th Annual Homeland Hospice 5k and Memory Walk
Our annual Homeland Hospice 5K and Memory Walk serves to remember those we’ve lost and to raise funds to support those who need care today. Funds raised support Homeland Hospice supportive services like massage, music therapy and additional in-home relief hours as well as residents of Homeland Center whose financial resources have been exhausted.
