Holidays are a time for families to come together and create lasting memories—and Easter is no exception. When a loved one is receiving hospice care, planning a family gathering might slip your mind. But the Spartanburg Regional Hospice and Spartanburg Regional Foundation are there to take the reins.

 Spartanburg Regional Foundation supports the cost of Easter meals prepared by Wade’s Restaurant for families receiving care from Spartanburg Regional Hospice.

 Early on Saturday, April 15, volunteers will load up their vehicles with meals from Wade’s Restaurant. One-by-one, volunteers will hand deliver the meals to families who have a loved one receiving care from Spartanburg Regional Hospice. 

A $55 donation to Spartanburg Regional Foundation enables Wade’s to prepare a special holiday meal for these families with service for 12. Spartanburg Regional Hospice currently cares for nearly 130 patients in their homes. This year the Easter Meal program expects to provide for more than 1,500 people.

 Families who lost a loved one in Spartanburg Regional Hospice care within the two weeks leading up to Easter will also receive a meal, helping them to experience a time of healing and togetherness.

 For more information on Easter Meals or to make a donation today, please visit RegionalFoundation.com.
