Update on Christmas Angel Appeal:

Our biggest appeal of the year is still delayed due to shipping. A big thank you to a local business for rescuing us and making time to print our letters and have them to us by Friday morning!

We are currently working on recruiting an army of volunteers to help us stuff envelopes over the noon hour on Friday. The mission is to have these to the post office by end of day Friday.

Just a reminder, that you can still donate to the appeal online at
https://www.hdhfoundation.ca/HDHF2/HDHF2/Donate/Christmas_Angel_Appeal.aspx?hkey=54f10173-da02-4eb6-ba8b-d2df4f1373f4

As we prepare for the Humboldt District Health Foundation’s 40th anniversary in 2026, we’ve been rediscovering so much of our history — and it’s truly inspiring.

From here on in, we’re going to have some fun when introducing new equipment we’ve funded. As new items arrive on site, we’ll recreate photos from the past featuring the same type of equipment!

Here’s the first of many to come!

The new Tub Chair Lift has arrived and is in use. Thank you to our donors for supporting our fundraising efforts!
