The Belleville General Hospital Foundation (BGHF) is bringing back its GEM Campaign this month.
The Give Every Month (GEM) program invites the community to support local healthcare with monthly donations.
Last year, more than 1,000 donors joined the GEM initiative,contributing more than $222,000 towards the purchase of critical medical equipment at Belleville General Hospital.
“With an average monthly gift of around $25, our donors are proving that small, consistent contributions make a huge impact in the long run,” said Steven Cook, executive director of BGHF. “These funds allow us to respond to urgent medical needs for Quinte Health whether it’s new diagnostic tools, state-of-the-art surgical equipment, or enhanced patient care. Every single donor helps ensure families in our region get the best care, right here at home.”
Unlike operational costs, which are funded by the province, the purchase of life-saving hospital equipment is entirely dependent on community donations. This reality makes monthly giving one of the most powerful ways to sustain and enhance healthcare services in the Quinte region.
Door-to-door canvassers from Globalfaces Direct will make the rounds this month seeking donors.
All BGHF canvassers are fully trained and will be carrying official identification.
A full list of authorized canvassers can be found at www.bghf.ca/doortodoor.
