Warm thanks to a very special mother-daughter team: Jennifer Suite and Aaren Dalessandro. Together, they organized the fifth annual crop to raise money for the Calvert Hospice Volunteer Program. Volunteers are a critical aspect of hospice care and are the heart of Calvert Hospice. We started nearly 25 years ago as an all volunteer organization and continue to rely on the invaluable contributions of volunteers in caring for patients, supporting the grieving in our community, fundraising and assisting in the office. We will use the funds raised at this event to train, honor, and celebrate our volunteers. Thank you to all those that participated!
