💙 Supporting Care Beyond Our Community 💙
We were honoured to recently connect with some incredible community partners to support an important humanitarian effort.
Due to the ongoing crisis in Cuba, RIEL BEE has teamed up with the Canadian Network on Cuba to gather much-needed supplies for delivery to those in need. Medical supplies were specifically requested, and we at Hospice Prince Edward were grateful for the opportunity to contribute some of these essential items.
A heartfelt thank you to PENNY, from Penny's Pantry from for generously serving as the local drop-off and pick-up station — your support helped make this collaboration possible!
It’s inspiring to see communities come together to care for others, both near and far. 💙

POSTPONED!
Well… Mother Nature has made it clear she’s not quite done with us yet! With all the snow she’s generously delivered over the past few weeks, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone this event due to weather.
Thank you so much for your understanding—we’re disappointed to postpone, but safety comes first. We look forward to sharing a new date once Mother Nature decides to give us a break!
