Local Shoppers Drug Mart stores throughout Chatham-Kent are contributing $24,000 to the Hospice Foundation.

The money was raised through their annual Tree of Life Campaign.

“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. Donations such as this help us continue to provide compassionate end-of-life care to families from across Chatham-Kent,” says Steve Walker – Vice-Chair, Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation.

The Chatham-Kent Hospice is a 10-bed facility that offers end of life care for residents. Their fundraising goal for the year is $850,000.
