Lightways Grief Support Program

Lightways would like to thank Nancy Rau, the Chapter Coordinator for the Will County Project Linus, for delivering 30 quilted blankets for our campers in this year’s Peace of the Heart Kids Camp.

Here’s info on Project Linus: https://www.projectlinus.org. What a great organization!

Thanks to generous donations from the community, Lightways is able to continue to offer the kids grief camp free of charge to all campers. For more information on the Peace of Heart Camp, go to https://lightways.org/event/peace-of-the-heart-kids-camp/

🚪 Friends of Hospice Event: Let’s Shut the Front Door to Cancer

Lightways Hospice and Serious Illness Care is honored to be a beneficiary of the first Shut the Front Door to Cancer Fundraiser presented by the Lynch Family.

This special event will bring our community together for an evening of music, fun, and fundraising, all to support individuals and families impacted by cancer. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Lightways and help us continue providing compassionate hospice care, serious illness support, and grief services for patients and families in our community.
