Coakley’s to Support Hospice Through Special Promotion

For nearly 20 years Coakley Home & Hardware of Canton has been a loyal support of Hospice in a variety of ways, most frequently by offering special promotions giving their customers an opportunity to support Hospice, just by shopping! This year, they are teaming up with Bonide, a New York based lawn and garden company to once again provide important support to Hospice. Throughout the weekend of May 17^th and 18^th, Coakley’s will donate 50% of all Bonide purchases to Hospice in support of the important care they provide to our community members.

In addition to donating a percentage of purchases throughout the weekend, Hospice staff and volunteers will be on hand at Coakley’s during the lunch hour on May 17^th grilling hot dogs and greeting customers. Donations for hot dogs will also be donated to Hospice. Stop in to Coakley’s located at 2535 SH 68 in Canton for all your Bonide lawn and garden products and support a great cause May 17^th and 18^th!

We are deeply grateful to Coakley’s for the many years of support they have offered Hospice and the community!
