MOUNT VERNON – Hospice of North Central Ohio (HNCO) and Hospice of Knox County representatives Becky Pfister, Kathy Wantland and Tara Severance presented a plaque to Michael Smith in recognition of Colonial City Moose Lodge #2555 of Mount Vernon for their continued support.
For many years, Colonial City Moose Lodge #2555 has provided annual support to HNCO/Hospice of Knox County for its community bereavement programs and Camp Hope, a bereavement camp for children who have experienced loss.
“Thank you to Colonial Moose Lodge for being so generous and for their support through the years,” said Kathy Wantland, HNCO bereavement coordinator (LSW) and Becky Pfister, HNCO support services manager (LISW, MSW). “The funds provided by the Lodge are utilized for Camp Hope and our community bereavement services. It is because of the generosity of Colonial Moose Lodge and other supporters that we can provide a wide array of services to our community, free of charge.”
