“Sacred Ground is a 501c3 non-profit that is one of a kind,” said Lones Green, community relations director for The Lantern at Morning Pointe of Clinton. “It provides a place for those who are in their final days to go in peace and facilitates support for their families during this very difficult time. I felt moved to support this ministry because I have friends and family who have passed away under Sacred Ground’s care. I feel the immensity of the work Sacred Ground does aligns with what Morning Pointe stands for and what I stand for on a personal level.”
Donations can be dropped off at The Lantern, located at 960 S. Charles G. Seivers Blvd.
