Donations Needed
With the cancellation of the Crawfish Cook-off this year, donations are needed more than ever. The loss of the Cook-off revenue will result in a $150,000+ loss for the Hospice House.
Below is a chart of expenses and items that can be donated to help offset our loss. Donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 5806, Slidell, LA 70469 or made via PayPal to MirandaParker@TheHospiceHouse.org.
Thank you for continuing to support the first and only Hospice House in St. Tammany Parish.

Wine and Dine history
Select Brands was looking for a partner to host this event on the Northshore and when our previous Executive Director heard the news, she was all on board! Dwayne and Charlene Shockley have been awesome partners with the HFOS since before the first event. They also participate in the Crawfish Cook-Off; donating all of their proceeds of the day.
Each year, our event is held at Benedict's Plantation in November. Select Brands donates over 100 wines that are available to taste. 10 -12 local restaurants share their signature dishes for patrons to taste. A live and silent auction is a part of the event. A trip to wine country in California is typically included in the auction. Raffle tickets for 100 Bottles of wine are also another part of the event. Wines that are tasted that night may be ordered at the event through Acquistapace Supermarket. Tickets are available at Acquistapace Supermarket in Covington, at the Hospice House, and EventBrite.
Guest for the Wine and Dine come from all over the Gulf South to sample the wines at this event.
Tickets are $75 Per Person
