“Hospice is one of the few charitable organizations that has the potential to touch all our families at some point, and we are blessed to have such a quality hospice organization serving Stanly County and the greater Uwharrie region,” said Kerra French, Chairperson of the 2024 Old North State Hospice Committee. “The Old North State community is proud to continue our 21-year partnership with Tillery Compassionate Care and help support these critical services.”

Committee members include Kerra French, Shannon Metera, Christy Modzelewski, Emily Breece, and Karen Mitchell.

Every time we raise another dollar for Tillery Compassionate Care, we know that someone will be guaranteed our help,” said Tillery Compassionate Care CEO Lori Thayer.  “Our philosophy is that patient needs come first, and we never turn anyone away due to their inability to pay.  It is through community support and fundraisers that we strive to stay true to this commitment.  The support from this dinner helps us continue to do this work with the same dedication and compassion that has driven us for 42 years.  We are grateful for your support for the last 21 years.”
