Ecumen

Our Mission

Empower individuals and families to confidently navigate aging so that it is a purposeful journey filled with dignity and support.

Will you join our mission? 

At Ecumen, we believe aging is a purposeful journey—one that deserves dignity, compassion, and support at every stage. While we offer a wide range of programs, services, and living options to enrich life, we also recognize that the final chapter is just as important as the first. 

That’s why Ecumen is proud to be one of Minnesota’s oldest and most trusted hospice providers. Your generosity ensures that no one faces life’s final days alone. With your help, we deliver expert medical care, emotional and spiritual support, and therapies that honor each individual’s wishes and cultural traditions.

Last year, we served nearly 1,000 hospice patients across Minnesota —and we never turn anyone away due to inability to pay.

Will you help us continue our mission to make sure every person’s ending is as meaningful as their beginning? The final chapter, end of life care, is where your generosity makes all the difference. You have the power to provide comfort, support, and meaningful moments for families facing one of life’s most tender experiences. This November, as we honor National Hospice and Palliative Care Month and Give to the Max Day, we invite you to join us in making every moment matter. Your gift ensures that no one faces their final days alone, and that every journey ends with the dignity and grace everyone deserves.

How your gift can make a difference: 

This year, an Ecumen Volunteer has agreed to match every gift up to $10,000! That means your gift goes twice as far, doubling your impact. 

• $37.50 → Doubled to $75.00 

  • Covers four hours of Adult Day Services, giving an older adult social connection and compassionate care while offering family caregivers time to recharge.

• $53.00 → Doubled to $106.00 

  • Supplies essential oils used in our aromatherapy program, easing physical and emotional symptoms.

• $96.00 → Doubled to $192 

  • Provides one set of hand weights to help Home Care clients improve balance, build strength, and support independence and recovery.

• $175.00→ Doubled to $350.00

  • Helps a spiritual counselor pursue a continuing education course, building skills to provide meaningful spiritual care to older adults and their families.

• $420.00 → Doubled to $840.00 

  • Gives 10 Hospice patients a massage or music therapy session— moments of comfort that reduce feelings of anxiety.
