Happy Anniversary to us!!!!
40 years ago today, on October 20, 1985, the Hutton family, along with dignitaries and guests, gathered at 177 Egerton Road to officially open Jocelyn House Hospice. Since that day, we have carried forward the dream of Jocelyn Hutton: adding life to final days for those with a terminal illness, and their loved ones, by providing care and comfort in a warm, home-like setting.
A 1984 Winnipeg Free Press article titled, “Girl’s Death Inspires Try for Hostel… Family Donating Home as a Haven for Terminally Ill,” shared the Hutton family’s vision: a home that would evolve from home care, rather than devolve from hospital care — “a house where there is a very conscious emphasis on living.”
It is remarkable that four decades later, Jocelyn House continues to operate exactly as the Hutton family dreamed. But we can only continue this legacy with the generosity of donors like you.
Help us celebrate this milestone by making a donation today!
To celebrate our 40th anniversary, local businessman, philanthropist, and Jocelyn House champion Bob Williams has pledged a $30,000 matching gift — meaning every dollar you give will be doubled to reach our $60,000 goal.
Your gift, no matter the size, will make twice the difference during this special anniversary.
Please give today — your donation will have twice the impact for our residents and their families.
