Event raised more than $30,000
This year’s Lights for Love luminary event was a meaningful evening of remembrance and community. Supporters, families, volunteers, and friends gathered to honor loved ones and celebrate the compassionate mission of Caring Hearts & Hands of Columbia.
Thanks to our community’s generosity, the event raised just over $30,000, including $3,365 from luminary dedications. Nearly 500 individuals were honored through the glowing luminaries, including every guest who passed in our home.
The event served as a powerful reminder of neighbors supporting neighbors. As one staff member shared, “Our community came together to honor those who came before us and support people’s transition out of this life.” Another attendee reflected, “This event gives our community a safe space to pause and practice grief together.”
We are deeply grateful to everyone who dedicated a luminary, donated, volunteered, or attended. Your compassion ensures we can continue providing comfort, dignity, and peace to our guests and their families.
