GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
GivingTuesday is an opportunity for people around the world to come together to thank, help, give, show kindness, and share what they have with those in need.
This year, our GivingTuesday Campaign will be raising funds for our programs and services provided at no cost through Hope House Hospice thanks to the generous support of our community. The holiday season can be a very challenging time for those who are facing a life-threatening illness, their family and caregivers and those coping with the death of a loved one.
DONATE NOW and every gift will go straight towards helping to provide support to your neighbours.
