Abbotsford Hospice and Grief Services Society Pop-Up Post Office

Details

AHGSS’ “Pop-Up Post Office” will take place on December 10^th and 11^th from 4-6pm at the beautiful Holmberg House, where guests can make their annual cheque donation in person and receive a beautiful 2024 ornament (while quantities last).

A nationwide postal strike has left charities in Abbotsford, including the Abbotsford A-List Favorite Non-Profit Abbotsford Hospice and Grief Support Society, struggling as critical holiday donations are delayed.

The holiday season is traditionally a time when organizations rely on community generosity to fund programs for the coming year. However, the postal disruption has brought a wave of uncertainty to charities dependent on mailed donations.

“We rely on these donations each year to support our programs for the next fiscal year, and without those cheques in the mail, it could severely impact our services and programs in 2025,” says Andrea Critchley, Executive Director at Abbotsford Hospice and Grief Support Society.

The strike’s timing has been particularly devastating, occurring during the peak of holiday giving, a period that accounts for a significant portion of annual funding for AHGSS.

Local charities are urging donors to consider alternative ways to contribute, such as online donations or in-person drop-offs, to ensure their support reaches those in need.

The Abbotsford Hospice and Grief Support Society provides essential services for individuals and families navigating end-of-life, and grief and loss, and are asking the community to rally together during this challenging time.
