The Algoma Residential Community Hospice (ARCH) needs your help. Our unique community-funded organization provides compassionate end-of-life care to palliative patients and their families. While the hospice receives some government funding from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, we must raise approximately $500,000.00 to $700,000.00 annually for ongoing operational expenses. When you give to ARCH, your gift brings comfort and support to palliative patients and their loved ones right here in Sault Ste. Marie.
Thank You so much to Heather's Wish
