Why Give?

Your Chance to Give Back

This is your opportunity to give back to the healthcare system you and your loved ones rely on. Even a small amount can make a big difference; if everyone living in our community contributes, the total project goal becomes very achievable.

Be a Local Healthcare Champion

Being part of a community means contributing how and when you can. Our local hospital relies on the generous support from the residents who use its services. This is where you can give what you can and help ensure that your neighbours, friends, and family members can access the healthcare they need, when they need it and close to home.

Reasons to Donate

 

Reason #1

Government funding is simply not enough – The Listowel Memorial Hospital relies on the residents of Listowel and its surrounding areas to generously support important renovations, other projects and updated technology.

 

Reason #2

Quality, local healthcare is everyone’s responsibility – At some point or another, you, or someone you know will need health care. Why wait to invest in your local healthcare system? Consider donating today so the care you need is available, close to home.

 

Reason #3

Help our doctors and nurses heal – The healthcare heroes in our local hospital deserve the very best equipment and environment to do their best work that keeps our community thriving. Support the team that keeps you and your family happy and healthy.

 

Reason #4

Inspire others to take action – Amazing things happen when one person starts giving generously and selflessly; others follow! Our project’s goals are met when we all give back to our local hospital.
