Prospect Home Care & Hospice begins dispersing funds

A $200,000 gift from Prospect Home Care & Hospice Foundation, the new brush truck fills gaps for Four Mile Fire Protection District. “The problem we run into is that 20 to 26 volunteers typically show up for a fire, but I only had enough trucks to get 20 out,” said Chief Chris Hawkins. “It’s crucial; with another crew on a fire, it’s another 400 gallons of water.” The foundation funds were left from when the hospice organization was active. Mary Barrowman served the organization as president and chief executive officer from 2003 to 2018. That year, Barrowman closed the hospice/home care side but continued to offer grief counseling and individual family assistance for those suffering the loss of a loved one. After dissolving the nonprofit in 2018, Barrowman initiated Prospect’s philanthropy with small grants to organizations and agencies that helped families in need. The donation to Four Mile and an earlier one to the Florissant fire department fulfills Barrowman’s wish to establish a legacy in the name of the Prospect Home Care & Hospice.
