Lights of Love – Waco

Providence Hospice – Community Healthcare of Texas presents the 5th annual Lights of Love.

Please join us on Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm for a self-guided luminary walk as we light up the Waco Suspension Bridge starting at Indian Spring Park (101 N. University Parks, Waco, TX 76701). Together, we will honor and remember those we have loved, those who have taught us, sacrificed for us, and made us who we are.

For each $25 donation, a luminary will be placed on the bridge, labeled with the name of the individual you choose to remember or honor. You can dedicate luminaries online or in person at the event. The deadline to have a luminary dedication included in the event program is October 30, 2026.

Luminaries will remain on display for the duration of the event. We reuse our luminaries each year to continue bringing light to Lights of Love.

All donations are tax-deductible, and all proceeds benefit Providence Hospice – Community Healthcare of Texas patient care and services.

For more information, email Karen Derrick at kderrick@chot.org or call (817) 878-3709.
