Price-Campbell Foundation Donates 20k to Grief Support
Thursday, December 10th, 2020
John Bennett, trustee of the Price-Campbell Foundation, awarded Hospice of South Georgia’s grief support program a grant donation of $20,000.
The Price-Campbell Foundation provides grants to programs who make a positive difference in the community. Mr. Bennett explained, “The Price Campbell Foundation was created in 1983 by the late Mildred Price, a retired professor at Valdosta State College. She wanted to make a difference in her community, and 37 years later the Foundation continues to do so. The Foundation supports organizations that positively impact our community, Hospice of South Georgia was a worthy recipient of a grant this year.”
Bereavement support is one of many unreimbursed programs at Hospice of South Georgia, and provides grief support to approximately 300 hospice affiliated and other additional community members at no cost. This program offers grief support for adults and children. Their Healing Hearts Youth Program was developed in 2019 to provide age appropriate grief support services to approximately 30 children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years annually.
The grant funds will be used towards establishing and expanding grief support to Hospice of South Georgia’s patient families and other community members through a new bereavement library of children’s books, a new serenity garden at their hospice care center- Langdale Hospice House, and continued support for children through Camp Lean On Me and the Healing Hearts Youth program.
