Home Healthcare, Hospice & Community Services (HCS)

Hcs

2026 Goals:

HCS is committed to providing quality care in all our programs, featuring a continuum of care that integrates home health, palliative and hospice care. HCS also continues to invest in and reenergize Meals on Wheels, Healthy Starts, transportation, foot clinics and homemaking. Simultaneously, HCS continues to maximize technology to improve care and support employees. Attracting and retaining our workforce and preparing for the future assures our leadership place in the community.

Fundraising Events:

HCS has thrived with over three decades of annual poinsettia sales. In partnership with Cathedral of the Pines, we hosted our Signature Butterfly Release Event in 2025 over three days and brought the event to multiple facilities where residents could not travel. The HCS board of directors hosted a vibrant and celebratory annual meeting which included a silent auction and keynote by Paulette Schwartz, LCSW, CPXP, who presented “The Emotional & Financial Burden at the End of Life.” The Circle of Hope Society includes lunches, receptions and an annual focused appeal for those who have committed planned gifts to the agency. HCS also participates in the National Day of Giving and NH Gives. With the range of services from Meals on Wheels to Hospice to Healthy Starts, there are multiple fundraising events for our specific programs as well as overall programmatic needs.

Giving Opportunities:

HCS has platinum GuideStar Candid status and welcomes general or targeted monetary donations. This year, HCS launched a new concrete needs wish list on our website and on Amazon for Gift in Kind donations. Consider sponsoring a Senior’s Meals on Wheels for a week ($50) or for a month ($200) of meals. HCS also encourages donations to spring and winter annual appeals, the Barbara Duckett Scholarship fund annual appeal for employees continuing education, and the Aylene Wozmak HEAL fund which benefits and enriches Hospice at HCS team members.

Volunteer Opportunities:

There are many ways to volunteer at HCS! We gratefully welcome volunteers for Meals on Wheels deliveries, Hospice visitation at home and in facilities, bereavement support groups, administrative functions, and during special events like the annual Butterfly Release and Poinsettia Sale.
