Parking Now Available
One of the most difficult problems we've faced in the years our offices have been on Hayes Street in Norwich is parking. Because we are located in an old Victorian house with limited space in the back, many people who came to our office did not have a place to park. Staff, volunteers and visitors were often inconvenienced by having to find alternative parking. Recently, our garage came down to make way for the much larger lot with space for up to twenty vehicles. So, when you visit us now, feel free to pull around back and come through the kitchen door.
Currently the lot is dirt and gravel but we hope to have it paved by fall. In the meantime we want to thank Burrell's Excavating and Burt Adams for donating their services for all the work that has been done so far.

We wish to thank Lindsay Meehan who coordinated the project at Mirabito Energy, all of the store employees who sold the Hugs, and especially the generous customers who purchased a Hospice Hug.
The Hugs for Hospice funds will be used to provide physical, emotional and spiritual care for our patients and their families. We look forward to working with Mirabito Energy for years to come.
