JoeAnna’s House
Because you give, families have a safe and comfortable place to call home when they need it most.
A gift is a special way to celebrate, honour and remember the lives of loved ones. When you make a gift to the KGH Foundation to support Hospice House and Palliative Care, you are contributing to the compassionate care for individuals and families.
If you would like to make a donation to a particular area of care that you don’t see listed online, please feel free to contact our team, and we will do our best to help you find the appropriate fund so that your gift can impact your desired area of care.
