Huron Hospice launches Wings of a Dove year-end fundraiser

Huron Hospice has launched its year-end fundraiser for 2025, called Wings of a Dove.

The annual campaign raises money to fund the loss, grief and bereavement service at Huron Hospice in Clinton.

This year, four local donors, made up of Compass Minerals, Merner Contracting, the Lions Club of Brussels and an anonymous donor, will all match donations up to $20,000.

The match means a gift of $100 becomes $200, and $250 grows to $500, or $500 becomes $1,000.

The grief service at Huron Hospice is offered at no cost.

People can support Huron Hospice by making a gift online at www.huronhospice.ca, by e-transfer, or over the phone. If people want to donate by cheque, it can be mailed to Huron Hospice at 98 Shipley Street in Clinton or dropped off at Bender House.

"The Grief Service helps children, as young as four, to youth, and adults of any age, learn how to manage their grief," said Executive Director, Willy Van Klooster. "Loss is something we experience at any age, and when we do, we grieve. Some people have difficulty managing their grief. That’s where Huron Hospice can help. It’s okay to say I need help."
