St. Joseph Hospice Foundation is a non-profit corporation, chartered in January of 2003, which provides educational programs and assistance to terminally ill patients and their families. The mission of the foundation is to provide peace, comfort and dignity to those facing a terminal illness, regardless of which hospice agency they choose.

Donations to St. Joseph Hospice Foundation are used to offer supportive care for non-funded patients and families and to fund volunteer and community education programs throughout Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Relying on the generous support of the communities served, St. Joseph Hospice Foundation provides over $50,000 yearly. In addition to funds for direct care, The Foundation has also helped to provide for living expenses, funeral costs, memorial services and more.
