In 1985, a group of dedicated volunteers founded Ashcroft and District Hospice as a grassroots program under the umbrella of the Lady Minto Homemaker Society.  Over the years, major focuses for the Hospice have included caregiver support, friendly visiting, AIDS support, and continuous empathetic support to palliative clients and their families. 

We are also proud to have been a force in the creation of a Palliative Care Room at the Jackson House Long Term Care Facility in Ashcroft.   One of the challenges facing our volunteers is geographic, in that we serve the areas of Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Walhachin, Loon Lake, Clinton, Spences Bridge (and Savona and Lytton when necessary and able). 

Maintaining a dedicated team of trained volunteers is high on our list of priorities.  Moving forward, we hope to establish a permanent brick and mortar office, with a staff coordinator, to train and lead our volunteers in our passionate desire to help our communities through times of personal pain and grief.
