SW Christian Hospice accepting donations for annual 'Tree of Light'

Southwest Christian Hospice is now accepting donations for its annual "Tree of Light," a Christmas tree presented to the community in remembrance of loved ones during the Christmas season. Funds raised will go to help the ministry which offers free care for terminally ill children and adults. Southwest Christian Hospice, located in Union City, has served the Atlanta metro community since 1983 and offers home-based care as well as care in its facility on Lester Road.

The Tree of Light, a live tree, will be erected in Stonewall Square in Fayetteville and each light on the tree will represent a donation of $15 or more to the memory of a loved one. The lighting ceremony is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 30, at 6 p.m., and will be a part of Fayetteville's "Fayette Christmas on Main Street" celebration.

A musical Christmas program also will be presented.

Donations are tax-deductible and may be mailed to: Southwest Christian Hospice, 7225 Lester Rd., Union City, GA 30291.

For more information on events and lighting ceremonies, call 770-969-8354.
