ARCH is thrilled to share that ARCH Hospice is hosting the 4th Annual Illuminate the Season with ARCH! Join us from Thursday, November 14th through Sunday, November 17th, 2024, at The Machine Shop to embrace the holiday spirit!
This heart-warming, community-driven event is a celebration of local businesses and the incredible people they serve. Each day you'll experience a vibrant showcase of talent, festive décor, and opportunities to support a cherished local charity. Illuminate the Season with ARCH promises something special for everyone—whether it’s bidding on beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, and planters, or exploring our exciting silent auction featuring generous donations from local businesses, we guarantee you’ll be amazed.
The event will also feature Santa’s workshop where children can skate with Santa under The Roof, enjoy delicious hot chocolate, and indulge in tasty treats. It’s a magical experience for families and people of all ages!
As we celebrate the season, we also acknowledge that the holidays can be a difficult time for those grieving the loss of a loved one. This year, we invite our community to honour their cherished memories through our special memorial initiative. By purchasing a Christmas ornament in memory of a loved one, you will help us place a commemorative ornament on our Memorial Tree—a beautiful gesture to keep their light shining.
