Thank you GDMF! 🌊💜

We’re so proud to announce the 2025 grant recipients and grateful for the work that each of these organizations does to improve the lives of youth in Oswego County. From increasing food security to offering safe spaces and resources for kids to play, learn, and grow, our community shows up for its most vulnerable in big ways. Thank you to all of our supporters who make this giving possible.

Thank you to our planning committee Ashley Lawton, Diddy Malone, Keeghan McSweeney, Donna DuBois-Taylor, Zach Grulich and Elena Twiss. Special thank you to our kitchen volunteers this year Grace, Julie, Nancy, Tom and their helping hands, and our other healing circle and fun time facilitators Maddy, Kelly and Jared! 🎉🌊 We could not hold this camp without your dedication and support! Thank you!

Last week we had the honor of fulfilling our first Life Longing request. Miss Kdee and her husband Ryan were so wonderful to work with. She requested a beach day with family and friends and she showed up looking fabulous in her sun hat and daisy sunglasses. 🌼

The Friends of Hospice ensured they had what they needed to enjoy this special day with their loved ones. We coordinated transportation and the use of the beach wheelchair, provided a sun tent, a volunteer nurse to accompany them, snacks, drinks and subs for lunch. 💜

With the help of her friends and family, Kdee was able to put her feet in the water, her toes in the sand, and even create a painting to cherish. ☀️

If you are interested in how you can become a part of fulfilling Life Longings, or if you know someone who would like to submit a request, please visit our website at friendsofhospice.org.

🌊Calling all teens! We need volunteers to help us at Camp Waves of Hope! 🌊

💜Our Big buddies are ages 13-18+ and they stay from Sunday, August 17th through Wednesday, August 20th. Our Big buddies are paired with a Camper (age 8-12) on Monday and remain with them for the duration of Camp Waves as a mentor and a friend. You will take part in fun summer camp games as well as healing activities which are often as beneficial for our Big buddies as they are for the campers.

💜If you volunteer with us, you will receive 72 hours of community service.

💜Please remember this is a bereavement camp and we maintain a supportive, kind and comfortable environment.

💜If this sounds like a great opportunity for you, please visit our website and fill out a Big Buddy Application Today!
