The Distinguished Young Women of Avon Awards Lunch was held on Sunday, August 3rd. Per usual we had many leftovers and wanted to Bless an Organization with the donations of unopened catering trays, desserts and beverages. One of our Committee members suggested The Gathering Together, a wonderful facility that assists in the transitioning their final hours due to an illness and the ability to have family and friends near them in a "home" setting. My son, Griffan, and I dropped off food and beverages to them in Plainfield and they were so thankful! We were so moved by the facility and the work these lovely volunteers do to make this part of "living" possible for so many to be Blessed by. If you or your Organization is looking for a place to donate financially or food, please consider this location.

We provide hospice care and support for guests and their families. Our services come free of charge. We are a loved ones last stop before heaven.
