Giving Tuesday – December 2, 2025 CLICK HERE to donate
As we celebrate 40 years of compassionate care at Hospice of Davidson County, we find ourselves reflecting on the thousands of families whose lives have been touched by our care team.
Every day, we hear stories that remind us why our mission matters so deeply.
Families share sentiments like:
“You cared for my dad like he was your own.”
“We felt supported every step of the way.”
“You helped us find peace in a moment we didn’t think peace was possible.”
These words stay with us. They inspire us. And they are made possible because of supporters like you.
Today, is Giving Tuesday, and we invite you to help us continue the legacy of compassionate care.
In honor of our 40th anniversary, here are just a few ways your gift can make a difference:
- $40 – provides personal care, medications or medical equipment for a patient receiving care at home, and meals for for a week at the Hinkle Hospice House for a patient’s family member.
- $140 provides care for a patient in our care
- $400 provides ambulance transport for a patient to the Hinkle Hospice House
- $1,040 provides a full day of inpatient care for a patient at the Hinkle Hospice House.
- $4,000 provides assistance to families in need during the time of loss.
Your generosity ensures that patients with serious illness and their families receive the support they need regardless of their ability to pay.
“One of the greatest privileges of my work is witnessing the way our community shows up for one another. When you support Hospice of Davidson County, you are helping us continue a 40-year promise: to bring compassion, dignity and expert care to every patient and family who need us. Your kindness truly makes a difference.

December 4, 2025 - Hospice of Davidson’s Annual Night of Reflection Luminary Event and Ornament Sale
Each year, our campus is illuminated with hundreds of glowing luminaries—each one representing a life, a memory, and a love that continues to shine.
The display begins on December 4th, when the luminaries will be lit for the very first time during our Annual Night of Reflection Luminary Event. This special evening includes music, warm seasonal refreshments, and meaningful moments of reflection as we gather to honor those who hold a place in our hearts. All are welcome to attend.
After the Night of Reflection, the luminaries will remain on display through January 4th, offering a peaceful space for individuals to visit our campus and remember their loved ones throughout the holiday season.
Whether you join us for the kickoff event or visit quietly on your own, we hope this display brings comfort, hope, and a gentle reminder that no one walks the journey of grief alone.
Together, we light the way — in memory, in hope, and in love.
