Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare is grateful to the event hosts and organizers who have organized the Haystack Supper, a benefit auction organized by the Amish community to raise funds for community members who are facing life-limiting illnesses.

The Amish Care Fund enables Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare to provide superior care and superior services to anyone in the Amish community facing end-of-life illnesses, regardless of their ability to pay; grief support to anyone in the Amish community at no cost; complementary services such as massage and music therapies; and palliative care to Amish patients whose chronic disease compromises their quality of life.
