The Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation is holding a “Homemade Baking Co. Pop-Up Sale” on March 17, 2026, to raise money for local healthcare in Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario. The fundraiser invites residents to purchase homemade baked goods to help the hospital keep up with the needs of the growing community.

The foundation currently raises funds to support health programs for more than 400,000 people living in the Markham and Whitchurch-Stouffville areas. These community fundraisers help pay for medical equipment and facility upgrades that go beyond what the provincial government provides.

According to Oak Valley Health, the organization that runs the hospital, the local population is growing quickly. They expect to serve nearly 500,000 residents by 2030, which will create a higher demand for emergency rooms, mental health support, and childbirth services.

Small events like this bake sale are part of a larger effort to ensure the hospital has the space and tools needed to care for everyone in the region. The money raised will help bring better medical care closer to home for local families.
