VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION EVENT
Last wednesday night, we were delighted to gather at Thomson in the Park Funeral Home to celebrate our incredible volunteers. Thank you to everyone who attended and to all of our volunteers who make the work of Palliative Manitoba possible.
Your compassion, dedication, and generosity bring comfort, connection, and support to individuals and families facing some of life's most difficult journeys. Whether through companionship, grief support, programs, events, or countless acts of kindness behind the scenes, your impact is felt every day. Your presence helps people feel seen, heard, and cared for, and we are deeply grateful for all that you do.
We were also pleased to recognize Irvine Hildebrand and Ken Woods as they retire from their volunteer roles after many years of dedicated service. Thank you both for your remarkable contributions and lasting impact on our organization.
A special thank you to our sponsors, including Red River Co-op, whose generous support helped make the evening possible, and to Thomson in the Park Funeral Home for graciously hosting us.
From all of us at Palliative Manitoba, thank you for your commitment, kindness, and service to our community. We are honoured to work alongside you.
