Through generous donations by area residents, the trees in front of the Brooks Health Centre are illuminated during the holiday season representing a Memorial and/or Merry Christmas wish. All funds remain in our community to enhance palliative care services. Tax-deductible receipts are available. This year’s donations will close December 12, 2018.
PRHPCS’s 2018 The Trees of Hope will be lit at the Brooks Health Centre on Nov 12th. Please join us for cookies and hot chocolate at 6:30 pm.
