The "Garden Party" raises nearly one-third of Fox Valley Volunteer Hospice's annual budget, allowing the agency to continue to offer support for those with life-threatening illnesses and those who have lost loved ones in Kane and Kendall counties and parts of DuPage, Cook and McHenry counties. All of its services are offered free and Spanish interpretation is available. For more information, call (630) 232-2233, or visit www.fvvh.org.
