Handbags for Hospice raised over $18,000 for Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre.
Community Care Northumberland’s (CCN’s) signature event plans to make a comeback for in-person delivery in February 2022 but in the meantime they held a virtual online auction that ran from June 1st to 10th.
They were able to auction off more than 50 bags of different styles, colours, sizes and brands, many of which were generously donated by local retailers.
Nancy Oliver, chair of the special events committee and board member of the Ed’s House foundation, says “(This) ‘teaser’ event…was a wonderful success …”
CCN’s hospice centre opened in September of 2020 in Hamilton Township, providing resident care, grief and bereavement support, health system navigation, caregiver support and palliative support to people with a life-limiting illness, their caregivers and their families at no cost to clients and their loved ones.
