Lights of Love holiday giving program honors and memorializes loved ones

Caption: The Home Nursing Agency Foundation Lights of Love display adorns the UPMC Home Healthcare/Family Hospice office along Plank Rd., Altoona. Lights of Love offers donors an opportunity to honor or remember loved ones by sharing a personal dedication that is publicized on an interactive online tree at HomeNursingAgency.com. Lights will be on display from Nov. 25, 2024 - Jan. 3, 2025.

The joy of the holiday season can be marked by sadness for those with loved ones who have passed away. Remembering our loved ones and including them in our observances keeps them alive in our hearts and celebrates their legacy that continues to live on.

For the fourteenth year, the Home Nursing Agency Foundation Lights of Love tribute event invites you to "shine your own special light" for someone you love. Selected trees at the UPMC Home Healthcare of Central Pennsylvania offices in Altoona and Ebensburg are being lit with bright lights. White lights represent Family Hospice, and blue lights represent grief services for children, adults and families, including those served through the Healing Patch Children's Grief Program. Trees will be lit Nov. 25, 2024 - Jan. 3, 2025.

Donations of any amount are welcomed and allow donors to share a personal dedication for a loved one that is publicized on an interactive tree at HomeNursingAgency.com. All proceeds from Lights of Love benefit Family Hospice and grief services for children and adults. Family Hospice serves people in Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Centre, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata and Somerset counties. Donations can be made by calling 1-855-GIVE-HNA (1-855-448-3462) or by visiting HomeNursingAgency.com.

The Home Nursing Agency Foundation gratefully recognizes the 2024 Lights of Love sponsors: UPMC Health Plan, UPMC Altoona, Blair Image Elements and Quality Services.
