‘Radiant Light’ to shine again at VHOCC
Published 1:30 am Wednesday, December 7, 2022
Locals looking to honor their loved ones and help a community nonprofit at the same time can do so at Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County.
The organization is bringing back its Radiant Light campaign, where people can donate funds to VHOCC and get a personalized star put on the holiday tree at the VHOCC office at 829 E. Eighth St., Port Angeles.
The tradition was one VHOCC founder Rose Crumb started several years ago, noted VHOCC volunteer services manager Astrid Raffinpeyloz.
“It kind of dwindled over the years,” Raffinpeyloz said.
The campaign was essentially put on hold the past couple of years during the COVID pandemic, but the office has reopened and the tree will be up in early December, Raffinpeyloz said.
VHOCC office hours are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Thursday, and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Fridays.
VHOCC is a nonprofit serving Clallam County from Joyce to Diamond Point, and all services are free. It provides end-of-life nursing care, loans medical equipment and supplies and offers education programs, grief support groups, one-on-one bereavement services and practical workshops on life after loss.
Raffinpeyloz said the organization currently serves about 85-90 clients.
To learn more about the nonprofit, call the organization at 360-452-1511, email to office@vhocc.org or visit its website at vhocc.org or Facebook page.
