Current Events
Grief and loss are part of the human condition and in times of loss, we often neglect our self-care. We invite you to take this opportunity to care for yourself as you join the WALK FOR HEALING virtual challenge. We hope by participating you can experience healing and connection while knowing that you are helping others as you support Hospice SLO County.
We rely exclusively on our small staff and trained volunteers to support SLO County residents experiencing life-limiting illness and grief. We rely entirely on the community to fund these free services. Proudly, Hospice SLO County has been in service for 45 years. This longevity is a true testament to the compassionate heart of SLO County.
This year, show your compassion for the seriously ill and bereaved with a 2023 business sponsorship. Sponsorships range from $500 - $5,000 and include many promotional opportunities. We are happy to work with you to meet your marketing expectations.
Past Events
The lantern symbolizes light as we are guided through life’s journey. We use the symbolism of the lantern to represent the light of the individuals who have been special in our lives. The illumination, warmth, and glow provided by the candles giving light to the lanterns symbolize the influence these individuals have had on who we are today.
