HNCO receives Ford Foundation Grant

ASHLAND — The S.N. & Ada Ford Foundation in Mansfield has approved a $5,000 grant or Hospice of North Central Ohio’s 2020 Camp Hope Children’s Bereavement Camp. This grant will help offset the cost of the annual four-day camp for grieving children, through HNCO’s Bereavement department.

HNCO established Camp Hope in 1996 for children ages 6-17 who have experienced the loss of a loved one through death. The camp is held at Pleasant Hill Campgrounds and is attended by approximately 100 children annually. Rebecca Pfister, HNCO Bereavement Supervisor stated: “The primary objective of this camp is to help children realize that they are not alone in their grief and that death is a natural part of life and grief is a natural response to that loss.” Ralph Tomassi, HNCO Chief Development Officer added: “Because this special camp is provided without cost to qualifying families of grieving children, we could not offer it without a dedicated team of staff and volunteers and the support of charitable gifts and grants.”
