Dundas County Hospice is seeking support from 100 Women Who Care to install a new accessible door at the rear of our hospice building to serve our growing Men’s Shed grief support program.

The Men’s Shed Support Group meets twice monthly in the back portion of our garage space, offering men a safe, welcoming environment to build, create, and connect while navigating grief, isolation, and life transitions. Currently, access to this space is limited by a standard raised-threshold door that presents a barrier for individuals using walkers, wheelchairs, or mobility scooters.

This project will replace the existing door with a low-threshold, fully accessible exterior door that exceeds minimum accessibility standards. The installation will improve safety, independence, and dignity for participants, many of whom are seniors or living with mobility challenges. It will also allow us to expand participation and remove a key barrier to inclusion.

For over the past 30 years Dairyfest has been an annual event for the Winchester Community. We are reaching out on behalf of the many volunteers this year that are organizing the local Dairyfest 2026 on the weekend of August 7-9, 2026.

We have put together a very busy weekend and are requesting funds to put together a successful kids day, with a kids zone of inflatables, games, lego car races, face painting, a zoo, buskers, music etc..

This day takes up a lot of the money raised for this free community event and the amount available is what generates the activities that can be planned for the kids and their parents.

This year we are trying to promote more activities for the family unit and we’re also hoping to offer small prizes (donations from the local dining establishments) for game winners.

We are requesting a $5,000 donation to help deliver a safe, engaging and memorable Kids Day for the Community.

We are excited to introduce Music in the Park, a new summer evening concert series designed to gather neighbours, support local musical talent, and create memorable nights in the heart of our community.

The series will take place over four evenings:

July 16, July 23, July 30, August 6

Location: 100 Club Park (Winchester Arena)
Expected Attendance: 200+ guests per evening

Each event will feature one live musical act, complemented by local food and beverage vendors. The evenings are designed to be family-friendly, accessible, and welcoming to all members of the community.

Music in the Park will foster social connection, encourage local spending, and provide performance opportunities for regional artists.

Project Budget: $5,000
– Live Entertainment: $4,000
– Advertising & Promotion: $1,000

Our goal is to have all advertising printed and circulating by May 31 to ensure strong community awareness and attendance. We are seeking financial support to offset entertainment costs. Sponsors will be recognized in all promotional materials and event marketing.

Crockpot Cuisine is an important program in our food bank. We provide a new recipe and all of the ingredients to make the recipe each month. We incorporate ingredients that may sit on our shelves because people do not know how to cook with them; ingredients such as chickpeas, lentils and beans. Unfortunately we do not always have enough of the same ingredients to make as many ingredient bags as we need. Our goal is to make 50 bags a month but we have not reached this goal yet. Most months we are only able to make 20 or 30 bags with the ingredients that we have on hand. With your help we will be able to purchase enough similar ingredients to create 50 Crockpot Cuisine bags each month. We are asking for $10 for each of the 600 bags to complete this goal for a total of $6000.
