AHCH releases 2015 Holiday Remembrance Ornament

November 19, 2015

Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice (AHCH) is excited to unveil the 2015 Remembrance Ornament. Each year a unique ornament is created and made available to all who want to remember a loved one, thanks to the generosity of Mechanics Savings Bank. Made of hand-cast pewter, this year’s ornament feature the tree of life. Proceeds are dedicated to home health and hospice services for patients who do not have resources to pay for care and bereavement services.

2015 marks the 10th year that Mechanics Savings Bank and AHCH have had a partnership in offering a Remembrance Ornament during the holiday season. "Mechanics Savings Bank is proud to support AHCH’s Remembrance Ornament fundraising efforts and the annual 5K and Remembrance Walk,” said Lisa Hallee, Chairwoman of Mechanics Savings Bank’s Charitable Giving Program. “Knowing these events help families pay for their loved one’s care, warms our hearts. We are so thankful for the entire team at AHCH and the compassion and care they provide to this community."

Since the Remembrance Ornament project began, more than $33,000 has been raised. “Over the past 10 years, the Remembrance Ornaments have been given as gifts to loved ones living across the US”, said Teri Blaschke, AHCH Development Coordinator. “For some people, giving the Remembrance Ornament has become a family tradition. It’s heartwarming to know we are part of that special tradition.”

Ornaments are $20 each and include a tag with the honored individual’s name proudly displayed.  Ornaments measure 2.5” by 2.5” and come pre-wrapped in a silver organza bag.  A $2.50 mailing fee is required for all orders needing shipment.  Orders needing shipment should be placed before December 9th to ensure delivery before Christmas.
