This year has seen unprecedented challenges in every community. The health care community and the non-profit community each face tremendous demands, logistically and financially. Connecticut Hospice sits at the intersection of both communities, and we are consequently facing a year like no other.
We are grateful, therefore, to be among many Greater New Haven non-profit organizations who participate in The Great Give each year.
Entering its 11th year, The Great Give is an annual two-day online-giving event designed to support nonprofits throughout Greater New Haven County.
Due to COVID-19, the original 36-hour time frame of May 5th @ 8am through May 6th @ 8pm has been expanded: early giving is now open and giving will close on May 31st.

Six members of the Yale Drama School costume shop staff have spent the past three weeks making some 400 cloth masks for donation to Connecticut Hospice.
