The Delta Community Foundation recognized the important work of the Heron Hospice Society of Delta with a $2,000 donation towards bereavement support programs.
Dealing with loss, uncertainty, and change, as well as having to make decisions associated with an advanced illness, can be difficult to navigate while experiencing strong emotional responses. The Heron Hospice Society of Delta offers a safe, non-judgemental space, with specially trained counsellors, that provide practical and emotional support to individuals and families navigating the journey of grief.
“We are grateful for the support from the Delta Community Foundation. With the support from organizations like this, we are able to offer a limited number of counselling sessions at no cost to Delta residents. Our programs include 1:1 counselling sessions, grief support groups, relaxation circles, volunteer support visits and a library for Delta residents who are seeking hospice or bereavement support,” said Heron Hospice director Laura Dixon.
“The Delta Community Foundation supports organizations for Deltans throughout the continuum of life. The Heron Hospice Society of Delta is a fundamental part of that. We are pleased to be able to help them deliver these important services at such a sensitive time in their grief journey,” added Gail Martin, president, Delta Community Foundation.
