Neighbors Taking Care of Neighbors: Together, We Support Franklin County
TALLAHASSEE, FL — Big Bend Hospice is calling on the communities across our eight-county service area to join us in supporting Franklin County residents who are currently facing a clean water crisis. Many in the area, including our hospice patients, are without safe, reliable access to water, leaving them especially vulnerable during these critical summer months.
From July 28 through September 1, 2025, Big Bend Hospice will host a Water Drive to collect bottled water and hydration essentials. We invite the public to show their support by donating needed items at any of our local offices.
What We Need:
· Bottled water (individual bottles or gallon jugs)
· Baby formula water
· Electrolyte drinks (e.g., Gatorade, Pedialyte)
