A GIFT OF THANKSGIVING GRATITUDE FOR LOCAL HOSPITAL STAFF

The Victoria Hospitals Foundation (VHF) invites their community members to join a movement of gratitude for Victoria hospital care teams in the spirit of Thanksgiving. With a goal to raise up to a cumulative $20,000, the Foundation is calling on donors to help fund food and comfort items for exhausted hospital staff. On October 8, the VHF team will deliver hampers to healthcare teams at Royal Jubilee, Victoria General, and Gorge Road hospitals. Every $10 donation supports one hospital care team member.

The fourth wave of the pandemic has been particularly difficult for local hospitals. The Foundation encourages the community to give the gift of gratitude and heartfelt thanks to care teams for their tireless dedication, especially as many frontline caregivers and hospital staff will spend Thanksgiving away from their families and loved ones in order to be present for their patients.

Community members can show their gratitude and make a donation to support a hospital care team member by calling 250-519-1750, or visiting victoriahf.ca/giving-thanks
