Hospice of SB collecting items

There is a week left of Hospice of Santa Barbara's campaign to collect sensory items for Friendship Center. Sensory items help our members to focus on something tangible and forget their worries for awhile.  

If you would like to participate, we encourage you to drop off new or gently used items such as coloring books, baby dolls, weighted blankets, fidget toys, and simple puzzles either in the lobby at our Montecito location at 89 Eucalyptus Lane or at Hospice of Santa Barbara's location at 2050 Alameda Padre Serra Suite 100 between the hours of 9-5.
