How many volunteers does it take to raise a 25 foot tree?! 😮

At Oceanside Hospice Society, our volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization💗 Without them, many of our programs and services, along with the success of our events and campaigns, would NOT be possible.

This dedicated group of volunteers endured the rainy weather today, in preparation for our LIGHT THE WAY annual display, which will be lit for the holiday season beginning Monday, December 1. The donations we receive during this campaign help us to offer our grief support programs, our palliative equipment loan program, and our overall operations. Funds received allow us to provide ALL services we offer to clients and families of Oceanside FREE of charge.

This year, we’re striving to raise $25,000 in donations, and we truly believe we can achieve this ambitious goal with the support of our generous community donors😁

If a donation form envelope did not arrive in your mailbox, please know that there are alternative ways to make your contribution:
* call the office at 250-752-6227 to donate by credit card
*come down to the Resource Centre at 210 Crescent Road West, QB- we can take variety of payments, and would love to see you!
* online through the Canada Helps platform at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/137647

Thank you to our incredible volunteers for being so amazing and helping make this holiday display a beautiful gift to our community 🤩 With Oceanside Hospice Society celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, we’re excited for this to be our best display yet! 🌟
