St. Joseph’s Hospice in Sarnia, Ontario, recently received a boost in community support with a combined $2,500 donation from two local service organizations. The funds, announced on April 7, 2026, will help the organization continue providing end-of-life and bereavement services at no cost to families in Sarnia-Lambton.
The donations arrived in two parts during late March. On March 19, 2026, the Sarnia Moose Lodge #1046 and the Women of the Moose Chapter 971 contributed $1,500. This specific donation is earmarked for the hospice’s Kitchen Fund and the Caring Hearts Children’s Program. The children’s program offers essential grief support to youth, including peer support groups, summer day camps, and memorial events.
Following this, the Knights of Columbus St. Michael Council #10102 presented a $1,000 donation on March 30, 2026. Both groups have a history of supporting the facility, which has been serving the local community since 2005.
St. Joseph’s Hospice relies heavily on the generosity of local donors to maintain its operations. While government funding covers approximately 60 percent of its costs, the organization must raise more than $2.5 million annually to keep its programs and residential services free for those who need them.
