Staff Appreciation Fund – Meals Program
The purpose of the Canmore and Area Health Care Foundation “thank-you” meals’ fundraiser is to provide a way for the Bow Valley community to thank all the frontline workers at the Canmore General Hospital (i.e., approximately 130 individuals, including medical professionals, cleaning, laundry, and maintenance staff), while also giving support to local, independent Canmore restaurants, which have supported the community during this difficult time.
Our short-term objective is to raise funds over the next three weeks to cover a one-time “thank-you” meal for all the hospital staff.
Our mid- to long-term target is to raise a total of $15,000 to be able to provide subsequent (weekly or monthly) meals to the hospital staff over the summer months.
This program will be volunteer-run and led by Rob Jennings — Canmore resident and grateful-patient. Volunteers will assist in delivering the meals from a number of local restaurants to the Hospital, and the Hospital Administration will organize the meals for each of the staff, depending on any dietary restrictions.
