Arohanui Hospice’s Trees of Remembrance will be blessed tomorrow Wednesday, 1 December, outside Farmers stores in Palmerston North and Levin.
Arohanui Hospice Chief Executive, Clare Randall, says Farmers department store has teamed up with hospice services across Aotearoa for the 8th year, to help raise funds in support of keeping hospice services free of charge.
“From 19 November until Christmas Eve, everyone who makes a donation to hospice while shopping at Farmers will receive a remembrance card,” says Clare.
“Our tree at Farmers Palmerston North in the Plaza will also be manned by volunteers from Wednesday so people who would like to support us can do so without making a purchase.
“Christmas is generally the time of year when we think of people who won’t be with us during the festive season-they may have died, they may be living overseas or in other parts of the country, or perhaps just can’t be with you at this time of year.
“This card is an opportunity to write a special message for someone you’ll be thinking about this festive season.
