How You Can Help

UR Medicine Home Care relies on the generous people of our community to support our efforts. There are many ways to become involved and show support that is meaningful and fulfilling to you.

Make a Gift

You can make your gift online, by mail, through your estate, and in many more ways. A gift, of any kind, to an area that means the most to you, means everything to us.

Purchase an Item From Our Wish List

Support pediatric patients by purchasing a gift from Home Care’s Amazon wish list. Many of our families have limited financial resources and your generosity can brighten a child’s day. Gifts are given to children who are experiencing hardships, may be dealing with the stress of coping with an illness, or are grieving a family member.

Become a Hospice Volunteer

Hospice volunteers support the hospice team by assisting with general operational duties or providing companionship to fill the gap between family and professional caregivers. Tasks may include respite for a caregiver, helping with shopping or errands, or even visiting patients in hospitals or nursing homes.

Become a Meals on Wheels Volunteer

By volunteering a few hours of your time, you can make a difference in the lives of those who need you in the community. Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver hot, nutritious meals to the homebound, elderly, or ill.

Sponsor an Event

If you’d like to become involved in our annual Winemakers Dinner event by becoming a corporate sponsor or you have auction items you’d like to donate, please contact Brooke Whowell at (585) 276-4716 or brooke.whowell@rochester.edu for more information.

Attend Our Annual Winemakers Dinner

Each fall, Ventosa Vineyards provides a beautiful backdrop for our signature fundraising gala—the Winemakers Dinner. With proceeds supporting hospice, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the specialty programs that are a part of hospice, meet many of our volunteers, and support a worthy cause.
