The Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Court St. Philip the Apostle 2593, recently donated $500 to Gordon Hospice House in Statesville.
Half came from the CDA court and half came from St. Philip the Apostle Church.
Gordon Hospice House offers comfort, compassion and care when it matters most to patients whose end-of-life care needs cannot be effectively addressed in the home.
