The Chatham-Kent Hospice capital campaign received a $30,000 boost Thursday thanks to a donation from the TD Bank Group.
“TD recognizes that the Chatham-Kent Hospice will contribute to the health and welfare of families in the community”, said TD District Vice-President Tom Burnside. “We know the hospice will make an incredible impact in the lives of their patients.”
Jennifer Wilson, chair of the hospice board of directors, said the boost is appreciated.
“We are very grateful to the TD Bank Group for this generous donation and for not only supporting our project but for supporting the community as a whole. TD Bank Group’s leadership and support is what makes a community stronger, they are a terrific community partner,” she said.
The Chatham-Kent Hospice will be a 10-bed residence that cares for patients and their families and friends who are dealing with a terminal illness. The Capital Campaign goal is $5 million; $3 million to build the residential facility and $2 million for an Operational Sustainability Fund.
