The Chatham-Kent Hospice is getting a helping hand from Shoppers Drug Mart stores across the municipality.
$20,000 has been raised through the stores’ Tree of Life – Growing Women’s Health campaign, with proceeds supporting daily operational needs at the end-of-life care facility.
“We are so thankful to Shoppers Drug Mart employees and their customers for their generosity. This donation is proof that small change can add up to make a big difference,” says Jodi Maroney, executive director of the CK Hospice Foundation. “Donations such as this help us continue to provide compassionate end-of-life care to families from across Chatham-Kent at no cost to them.”
The Hospice relies on over $100,000 each year in donations to help support operating needs, which aren’t covered by government funding.
