This week we attended the celebration, where this amazing group presented a record- breaking $88,201 to local non-profit organizations💖

We’ve been honoured to participate in this fabulous community event over the past several years, and we are deeply grateful to our dedicated volunteers who served as Gate Ambassadors during the Sand Sculpting & Exhibition. Their support made it possible for us to receive this generous donation🙏🏻

We’re beginning something new each Tuesday here at Oceanside Hospice Society!

Starting this week, we’ll be highlighting a book from our Lending Library- a free resource to all of our clients.

Whether you’re navigating grief, approaching end of life, or caring for someone who is, these carefully chosen books are here to support and comfort you on your journey. We invite you to explore the stories, insights, and gentle wisdom they offer.

You’re not alone- and we hope these books can be a meaningful companion along the way❤️

Huge thanks to Margot Koning-Wells, Cathryn Stewart, and Elizabeth Huculak! Even though they’re new to the Oceanside community, they jumped right in to share their talents and energy to make a difference.

These amazing women put together a fabulous tea and silent auction at The Gardens and raised an incredible $2,133 for Oceanside Hospice Society!

We’re so grateful for their kindness, hard work, and community spirit. Welcome to Oceanside! We’re lucky to have you here!

Today, on National Seniors Day, we celebrate and honour the wisdom, kindness, and resilience of the seniors in our community. They are our storytellers, mentors, caregivers, and friends—helping to shape the world we live in and inspiring us every day.

At Oceanside Hospice Society, we are grateful for the many seniors who share their time as volunteers, support us as donors, and trust us to walk alongside them and their families during life’s most tender moments.
To all the seniors in our community: thank you for the love, laughter, and legacy you continue to gift us.
