Our wonderful donors also ensure that flowers and food remain a part of our \u201cCelebration of Life\u201d events, that Christmas d\u00e9cor adorns the Hospice in December, and that we can purchase comfort and recreation items like a free-standing popcorn-maker for group events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/sphfsk.ca\/hospice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/Homepage-Built-by-community-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sphfsk.ca\/hospice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/Homepage-Built-by-community-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sphfsk.ca\/hospice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/Homepage-Built-by-community-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sphfsk.ca\/hospice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/Homepage-Built-by-community-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sphfsk.ca\/hospice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/Homepage-Built-by-community-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sphfsk.ca\/hospice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/Homepage-Built-by-community-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sphfsk.ca\/hospice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/Homepage-Built-by-community-1350x898.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/sphfsk.ca\/hospice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/Homepage-Built-by-community-650x433.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our community-supported Comfort Care Fund, the back entrance to the Hospice has been re-imagined.
