Sixth Graders Donate Tag Sale Proceeds to Hospice Southeastern Connecticut

Sixth graders from Sacred Heart School in Taftville recently organized and ran an in-school tag sale, donating the proceeds to Hospice Southeastern Connecticut. They raised $402.50.

“We are thrilled that the young people of southeastern Connecticut are learning about philanthropy and are choosing to support our organization,” said Carol Mahier, Executive Director of Hospice Southeastern Connecticut. “As a non-profit organization, we rely on the support of our community. We know the care we give to patients and families touches everyone, not just the elderly.”

Hospice Southeastern Connecticut is a non-profit community based organization that provides end of life care in the home and often in skilled nursing facilities, regardless of age, disease or financial status. The agency also provides bereavement services for the entire southeastern Connecticut community
