Heart of Georgia Hospice has cared for patients and families across our 10-county Middle Georgia region since 1984. For more than 40 years, families have trusted us during some of the hardest days of their lives, and we've worked to meet them with comfort, dignity, and compassion. It's why we're known as the Hospice with the Big Heart.
We're getting ready to open our new location, and the area that will house the HOGH Thrift Store needs some care of its own.
Where your gift goes
This fundraiser is for the Thrift Store side of our new location. At least a quarter of the ceiling tiles in the area the Thrift Store will occupy are damaged, so we're replacing all 1,500 of them before our grand opening in November.
Why it matters
The HOGH Thrift Store is part of Heart of Georgia Hospice, and every purchase there supports our mission of caring for patients and families. A bright, welcoming store means more shoppers, more donated items, and more support for the care we provide.
How your gift will be used
Each replacement tile costs $6. Our goal is 1,500 tiles ($9,000) by September 30, and your gift goes toward buying new tiles for the Thrift Store area. No gift is too small: every $6 means one fewer damaged tile over our shoppers' heads.
How it works
$6 buys one tile. Give as many as you'd like. Every tile gets us closer to 1,500.
Get recognized. Give with your name showing, and we'll add you to the Tile by Tile ticker on our website along with your tile count.
Dedicate your tiles. Giving in memory or in honor of someone special? Add their name to your words of support, and we'll list it beside yours on the ticker.
Every tile counts
Tile ($6): One tile, with your name and tile count on our website ticker
Row ($60): A full row of tiles, plus recognition in our Friday Facebook update
Section ($150): A whole section, highlighted and bolded on our ticker
Space ($600): 100 tiles, plus recognition on our website's "New Location" page for an entire year
Ceiling Champion ($1,500): 250 tiles, pinned to the top of our ticker, plus a free four-person team entry to our 2027 Charity Golf Tournament
Can't give right now?
Sharing this page helps just as much. Post it on Facebook, text it to a friend, or send it to anyone whose family has been touched by hospice care. Every share puts Tile by Tile in front of someone who might buy a tile. You can also rally your church, workplace, or civic club to fund a whole section together.
Heart of Georgia Hospice is a nonprofit, and your gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Thank you for helping us give the Big Heart's new home a fresh start, one tile at a time.
I am playing in a golf marathon April 26th in support of Heart of Georgia Hospice and any donation will help make an impact. I'll be playing 72 holes at International City Golf Course, (a $1.00per hole sponsorship would be great!).
