If you want to help out the Hospice of Windsor and Essex County, the Hospice Face-to-Face campaign is back.
For the past 22 years, it's raised money for the Fairley Family Transportation Program, which provides clients with a ride to their medical appointments.
Two years ago, the campaign started raising money for the G.E.N.I.E (Granting Exceptional N' Impactful Experiences) Program. It offers clients receiving care in Hospice, staying at a hospice residence, or home a ride to a family gathering, a local park, or even their family home one last time.
The 2024 Face to Face Campaign is in memory of Doctor Jamie Henderson, a dedicated Hospice Ambassador. He passed away in April after a long illness.
"For many years, Jamie has been one of the Honourary Co-Chairs of our Face to Face Campaign, but his support of our Hospice went far beyond this event, truly personifying the compassion, kindness, and gratitude for which our Hospice is known," said a release from the campaign. "We are proud to celebrate his life."
The campaign sees canvassers collecting donations online and in person. Community members can pledge a specific canvasser or support the cause as a whole.
Canvassers can get a Face to Face kit on the Hospice's website.
The campaign started on Thursday and ends September 30, and has raised $1.6-million over the past two decades.
