We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible $20,000 donation from John Spruit and Sons, which will support the Dundas County Hospice. The entire Spruit family has supported the hospice since the beginning. John’s son, Henry, took charge of building the fence in the Hospice backyard along with his brother Joe and other volunteers. Joe is also responsible for building the beautiful arbour in one of our memorial gardens, and has always been available when we needed to move rocks or cut tree branches.
Over the years, Dundas County Hospice has become more reliant on grants and community donations to sustain and grow our programs and this one is huge. Donations such as these ensure the Hospice will continue to thrive in uncertain fiscal times. All money donated to Dundas County Hospice goes toward our free services for palliative and grief and bereavement clients as well as our Equipment Loan program that is available free of charge to any resident of North or South Dundas who is in need of short-term medical equipment. We are so blessed to live in the community we serve where the generosity always comes through. A huge thank you to the Spruit family!
