To celebrate the season, Niagara Hospice is once again participating in the Niagara Power Authority's Festival of Trees. The annual event gives area nonprofit organizations an opportunity to represent each one's respective mission by decorating one of the many trees on display. 

   Since 2013, Niagara Hospice has displayed a tree to help educate the community about the many services provided by the organization. This year, Kalos Health and Liberty Home Care are also participating with their own trees decorated to represent the many services that each company has to offer. Niagara Hospice volunteer Bernadette Ford made tree skirts using each organization's colors and logos.

   The trees are adorned with LED lights courtesy of NYPA. Participants include the American Cancer Society/Relay For Life Greater Niagara, American Diabetes Association, Aquarium of Niagara, Family & Children's Service of Niagara, New York State Parks, Niagara Community Action Program, Niagara Falls Boys & Girls Club, Opportunities Unlimited, People Inc., SPCA and United Way of Greater Niagara.

   The festival runs from December 1-31. The New York Power Vista is located at the at 5777 Lewiston Road, next to Niagara University.
