Every donation to the Red Deer Hospice Society in February will be matched by the Red Deer Twilight Homes Foundation.
In a news release this week, the hospice society said all donations made through this community matching initiative will go towards replacing the original ten resident beds. The Twilight Homes Foundation will match all donations up to $10,000.
“We are so fortunate to be able to partner with an incredible local community builder to raise money for this much-needed equipment,” said Jerri Taylor, executive director at the Red Deer Hospice Society. “It’s great for donors to know that every dollar they give in February equals two!”
Last year, the hospice society identified the need to replace their original ten resident beds after years of being well utilized. With ten beds to replace and the addition of a cuddle bed to accommodate loved ones when requested, the cost of replacing the resident beds will be over $150,000 over the next year.
“The gift matching donations will be instrumental in helping us reach our goal and continuing to provide top quality end-of-life care for people in our community,” added Taylor.
