Hospice of Dubuque Prides Themselves on Exceptional End-of-Life Care

When it comes to supporting local non-profits, there might not be an easier and more impactful program than Kwik Care.

If you're not aware, Kwik Care has helped raise both funds and awareness for local nonprofits. Each month, Kwik Stop and Dairy Queen help collect donations for a different organization. Donations can be made easily by requesting your total purchase at any of those businesses (including at the gas pumps at Kwik Stop) be rounded up to the nearest dollar. The additional cents used to round up will be donated to the respective charity of the month.

This month's Kwik Care recipient is Hospice of Dubuque, a community-based nonprofit organization with a mission of providing compassionate care for the terminally ill and their loved ones. Hospice of Dubuque has been your hometown hospice center for 38 years. The work they've done has been impossible to quantify.

Both Heather Hamm of Kwik Stop/Rainbo Oil and Diane from Hospice of Dubuque stopped by to chat about all the great work the organization does for the area:

Our mission statement is providing compassionate care for the seriously ill and their loved ones. I always stress 'and their loved ones.' We definitely focus on that patient we're caring for, and I often say we might not be able to change the destination, but we can certainly impact that journey. - Diane from Hospice of Dubuque, per our interview below

Hospice of Dubuque is indeed a nonprofit. All the money they receive goes back into helping the patients they serve. Here are all the locations where you can make a donation to Hospice of Dubuque in the month of October:

• Kwik Stop on Pennsylvania Avenue

All month long, Kwik Stop and Dairy Queen will be taking donations that will go directly to Hospice of Dubuque via the aforementioned Kwik Care canisters at the counter or if customers request their purchase-total be rounded up to the nearest dollar (the difference going to Hospice of Dubuque). You can also make a donation via the brand new Kwik Stop Rewards app too!
