Huron Shores Hospice part of the Great Canadian Giving Challenge

The Huron Shore’s Hospice is once again participating in the Great Canadian Giving Challenge.

Every dollar donated online to Huron Shores Hospice during the month of June earns them a chance to win the $20,000 grand prize from Canada Helps.

Also, the first $5,000 in donations this year will be matched by Bruce Power.

Cheryl Cottrill, Co-Chair of Huron Shores Hospice said, “We know the need in our community is very high for grief support, end-of-life planning, Doula services and caregiver support. When we dream about what a $20,000 prize would allow us to do to further support end-of-life care and grief recovery in our community, we think about how many more people in our community we could reach with your support.”

Donations can be made through www.canadahelps.org
