OSWEGO, NY — Recently, the Springside at Seneca Hill Knitting Club donated a bin of handmade Afghans to Friends of Hospice in Oswego County, (FOHOC), said Elena Twiss, executive director. “The Afghans they made will give warmth and comfort to individuals at the end of life in Oswego County and we are very grateful for their support,” Twiss said.
FOHOC is a volunteer organization that provides financial and non-medical support to individuals, caregivers, friends and families during the end-of-life journey and supports them following their loss. The FOHOC recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of the annual Camp Waves of Hope held in August each year for children who have experienced a loss. This camp combines therapeutic group counseling activities and fun summer camp games in order to leave children with additional coping skills for their grief and peer support that lasts throughout the year. In addition, the FOHOC is introducing a new Life Longings program to assist individuals at the end of life with special requests that will give them further support by providing something special that they need.
