Huron Hospice has received a significant donation to its Moments Matter Even More capital campaign.
Bruce Power has stepped up with a $100,000 donation that will help Huron Hospice build new bedrooms.
The project aims to raise $1.6 million to build 4 new bedrooms at the Huron Hospice Bender House, with ensuite bathrooms and accessible outdoor patios. The Bender House was constructed back in 2018.
Huron Hospice are also converting two existing temporary bedrooms into a quiet space and a children's room for a total of six rooms.
“We are honoured to accept this gift from Bruce Power. Thank you for helping us make our dream a reality. In recognition of this gift, the Board of Directors has approved the naming of the entrance driveway and expanded parking area,” said Board Chair Lisa Taylor. "This gift will offset the additional costs the hospice incurred on the construction project resulting from COVID related budget increases.”
“Bruce Power has been a supporter of the Huron Hospice since 2021, and this year is no different,” stated Mike Rencheck, President & CEO of Bruce Power. "The end of life is one of the most challenging times for a family and local families have relied on Huron Hospice. I would like to thank Huron Hospice for the compassionate and dignified end-of-life care they provide to Huron and Bruce County families. We are pleased to be able to support the hospice in its mission of providing quality palliative care in rural Ontario."
