We feel the love, Sunshine Coast!

 
 

Approximately 60% of our revenue comes from our community’s generous donors. Without this critical funding our trained volunteers and small staff team would not be able to work towards meeting the growing and changing needs of Sunshine Coast residents.

  • Bill Longman & Trudene Norman

    We are proud to support the work of Coast Hospice and we appreciate the importance of having hospice services and programs right here, in the community we call home. Making sure compassionate help is available to friends and neighbours in need contributes to making the Coast a very special place to live. We encourage everyone to donate and also to remember Hospice in their Will.

  • Paul Mears, Vice President, Board of Directors and Chair of Hike for Hospice 2022

    As a long time Coaster, my involvement with Hike for Hospice is a great way to do my part to help support Coast Hospice. They do such an amazing job of serving our community, helping people during their most challenging times. It’s so important that we support and strengthen our local organizations that provide such necessary services right here on the Coast.

Thank you community donors

We are grateful for all donations—small and large—and for the residents who attend our fundraising events, who learn and talk about our work with family and friends, and who engage in shaping the future of hospice services and facilities in our community. We are also honoured to accept donations in celebration of a special event, in memoriam and legacy gifts.

Warm thanks to those who have donated $500 or more in the past fiscal year (ending March 31, 2021), either as one-time donations or as monthly donors:
