This spring and summer we’re visiting neighbourhoods across Burlington to invite you to join our Community of Care Monthly Giving Program. The ongoing support from our monthly donors makes a tremendous difference in the lives of JBH’s patients and their families. Monthly donors help raise funds for the hospital’s most urgent needs, including vital equipment and technology that is used everyday throughout the hospital to save lives but is not covered by government funding.
We are partnering with Globalfaces, one of Canada’s largest door-to-door fundraising services, for this campaign beginning June 10th, 2024. Globalfaces uses a team of professionals, who go through a rigorous training program so that they are well-informed about Joseph Brant Hospital and our programs, as well as our statement of purpose and values. We trust Globalfaces, and we hope our community will too.
