Look out for University Hospitals Kingston Foundation canvassers in your neighbourhood this November!

Starting the week of November 18, 2024, University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) canvassers will be visiting neighbourhoods throughout Kingston to introduce community members to the impact of monthly donations. These donations, which support Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC) and Providence Care, help save lives and improve health outcomes for the entire community.

The door-to-door campaign will run for several weeks.

Monthly giving is a powerful way to support our hospitals and community-based programs. Your monthly donations provide stable and predictable funding to support ongoing research, education, equipment upgrades, and more.

Please consider joining our Monthly Donor community today. Your support will make a magnificent difference in the lives and health of Kingston and Southeastern Ontario residents.
