Menifee Crime Watch honors Hospice of the Valleys as fund recipient

Hospice of the Valleys has been awarded funds from Menifee Crime Watch, as their local chapter has concluded. The Menifee Crime Watch (previously Sun City Crime Watch) played a vital role within the Menifee Police Department and Riverside County Sheriff Department. Staffed by volunteers that provided crime deterrence and preventions in the area, Menifee Crime Watch’s work included high-visibility patrols, help with DUI checkpoints, community events, crime scene and traffic collision response, as well as fulfilled requests for house checks when residents were on vacation. They were a very dedicated group of individuals who wanted to make a difference in their community. While unfortunate that Menifee Crime Watch’s work has ended, Hospice of the Valleys appreciates the opportunity to be considered a recipient of funding. The funds received from Menifee Crime Watch will be ear-marked specifically for Menifee patient care expenses not covered by insurance. Unfunded care includes items such as bereavement support, medication delivery so the patient’s family does not need to go to a pharmacy to pick up medications, uncovered medical equipment or supplies such as incontinence supplies, the We Honor Veterans program, and hospice care should the patient be uninsured or underinsured.

Past Hospice of the Valleys’ Board Member and longtime supporter, Bob O’Donnell has also been a part of Menifee Crime Watch since 2012. “I’m so happy that when Menifee Crime Watch was finishing up our work, we were able to give to Hospice of the Valleys, a nonprofit hospice that started right here in Sun City. We are pleased to be able to support their important work in our community”, said O’Donnell. Anthony Christopher, current Hospice of the Valleys board member, and past board member at Menifee Crime Watch said, “I’ve been honored to serve on the board of both organizations. It was important for Menifee Crime Watch to support an organization like Hospice of the Valleys- a nonprofit that was started in Sun City and has served the community since 1982.”
