Hand to Heart Project is a nonprofit program that provides free in-home massage & compassionate touch The Hand to Heart Project (a program of NH-VT Palliative Services, a New Hampshire nonprofit corporation) provides the comfort of free, in-home massage and compassionate touch to people with cancer, and to their caregivers. The program now covers approximately 100 towns in western New Hampshire and southeastern and southwestern Vermont. We work with people of all ages, with all types and stages of cancer. Some of our clients are going through treatment for their cancer, and other clients have ended treatment and are approaching the end of life. Since the day the program was launched, it has helped people find moments of physical and spiritual peace during extraordinarily difficult times.
