Columbia’s home for gentle goodbyes

In Columbia, Caring Hearts and Hands is changing how our community experiences end-of-life care. This nonprofit offers a warm, home-like space where families can spend precious time with loved ones in their final days—without worrying about overwhelming costs. Volunteers and caregivers focus on comfort, favorite foods, and even live music, making each guest’s last chapter truly personal. The annual Lights for Love event brings neighbors together to honor those we’ve lost, lighting up the night with memories and support. How do you think our community can better support people facing life’s hardest moments? #Safety #ColumbiaMO #CommunityCare
