The Huron Shores Hospice board has received its charitable status and has launched a fundraising campaign.
One of the first donations was from local broker Linda Bowers of Royal LePage Exchange Realty in Kincardine.
The money will help the organization to develop hospice palliative care services in Kincardine and surrounding communities.
On Sunday, May 14 there will be a Hike for Hospice at the Davidson Centre in Kincardine.
All ages and abilities are welcome to support the hospice drive.
