If you're getting a jump on spring cleaning this year, consider donating your new or gently used purses to our annual Purse Party!
Each year, we auction off purses to benefit Camp Courage, our grief support camp for children. If you would like to help, you can drop off purses at our main office located in the Fricano building downtown Muskegon or at The Leila and Cyrus Po**en Hospice Residence during normal business hours.

Camp Courage is Harbor Hospice's annual grief support camp for kids struggling with the loss of someone close to them. Campers, counselors, and volunteers spend a weekend away learning about how to cope with grief, as well as fun outdoor activities.
Each year, the Harbor Hospice Foundation puts on a Purse Party fundraiser to raise money for Camp Courage, our overnight camp for kids dealing with grief and the loss of someone close to them. This camp provides kids with valuable tools to understand and cope with their grief, as well as fun and engaging outdoor activities. We also offer this camp free of charge to any child in our area who qualifies. To do this, we are asking for your support at this year’s Purse Party on Sunday May, 3rd.
If you are interested in donating a purse to our cause, or attending our event, we have more information on our website. www.harborhospicemi.org

Our compassionate and expert care wherever it’s needed
For almost four decades, Harbor Hospice has provided skilled, compassionate end-of-life care by addressing the medical, emotional, and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients and their families regardless of their ability to pay for it.
Most hospice patients in our five-county West Michigan region chose to remain at home while in our care, but when that is not their choice or not the best option, we serve them where ever they are including in nursing homes and at our Leila and Cyrus Po**en Hospice Residence in Muskegon.
Harbor Palliative Care professionals provide specialized medical support to patients who are not ready for hospice but are dealing with challenging, life-limiting symptoms of their condition -- or side effects of their treatments -- such as nausea, breathing difficulties, and especially pain. We partner with each patient’s doctor to determine how best to bring comfort to the patient so they can resume activities they love like having dinner with friends and spending time with grandchildren.
Each day at our Bob and Merle Scolnik Healing Center in Muskegon, grief counselors offer support groups and one-on-one time for family members, partners, friends, and care givers learning how to cope with heartache and loss. Because we believe so strongly in the power of grief support, our services are free of charge and available to everyone.
Harbor Hospice is certified by Medicare and Medicaid and our services for which there is a fee are covered by most health insurance plans.
