Holiday Giving Campaign
2021-11-30 - 2022-01-08 | Virtual Event
This holiday season we are focusing on strengthening our food program so that we can further support our clients, caregivers and families who are having difficulty putting food on the table as some are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 and unable to go grocery shopping safely. Others are isolated from their usual support networks or are experiencing financial hardship.
Early in the pandemic, we partnered with local caterers and grocery stores to launch a new program that brings nutritious food directly to our clients, at no cost. In total, we have delivered more than 16,000 hot meals and food hampers and are supporting more than 500 vulnerable families.
But there is still a lot of work to be done as we need your help to strengthen the program and keep it going. We are kicking off our holiday giving season this #GivingTuesday, November 30th. Started a few years ago, #GivingTuesday is a special day to raise awareness and support charities across the country and takes place on the Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Our goal this year is to raise $8,000 to strengthen and keep the food program for our clients and families going. Please give today and help us continue to support more than 500 families in need.

21st Annual Hike for Hospice: May 7, 2023

Registrations opening on Friday March 10th 2023 for our 21st Annual Hike for Hospice!

In previous years, thousands of Canadians have gathered together on the first Sunday in May across Canada to participate in the national Hike for Hospice to kick off the National Hospice & Palliative Care Awareness Week. With the pandemic we got creative through a virtual Hike but now we’re ready to be 100% back in the park. Hospice Toronto has again partnered with Philip Aziz Centre / Emily’s House to bring you our 21st Annual Toronto Partners Hike for Hospice on Sunday May 7th to raise funds and awareness for hospice palliative care in our community.

While Covid has become more manageable overall, demand for services like social work, grief and bereavement supports, and respite care has continued to increase. Communities have developed new needs caused by limited mobility, food insecurity, social isolation, and reduced access to in-person services. Many organizations, including Hospice Toronto, have had to adapt and do things a little differently to meet those needs.

Despite many challenges, we remain committed to serving our clients, residents and their families, while keeping everyone safe. Our hospice staff and volunteers have risen to the challenge by providing support groups and one-on-one services virtually through phone or video conferencing when unable to enter people’s homes. We have adapted to offer programming that meets the changing needs of our clients during these difficult times – but we need your generous support to keep these programs going.
