Fundraising letters going around the community seeking donations to help with hospice care, are not from Our Hospice of South-Central Indiana, and the local agency will receive no money from any donations you make to this Virginia-based solicitation.
Laura Leonard, with Our Hospice, says that there are at least two donation letters that have been mailed to community members. But they are from the Hospice Support Fund in Merrifield, Va. The local hospice is not affiliated with that effort.
The out-of-area letters have subject lines such as “$1US Currency Enclosed. The Hospice Support Fund” and the other is titled, “Annual Fund Drive Voluntary Reply Form.”
Instead, Leonard says that any request from Our Hospice of South Central Indiana will have the agency’s logo and will contain local contact information. Our Hospice does rely on donations to support its not-for-profit mission to ease end-of-life care for those who are terminally ill and for their families. Our Hospice of South Central Indiana, part of Columbus Regional Health, serves 16 counties here.
