DOVE PINS RETURN FOR THE SECOND YEAR, SUPPORTING HOSPICE PATIENTS AND FAMILIES

For over 40 years The Hospice of Windsor and Essex County has been offering compassionate end-of-life care to our community. Throughout that time, the Hospice Dove has been a symbol of our Hospice, and the care provided.

The Hospice has announced the return of the Hospice Dove Pin Campaign. These pins are a one-inch dove-shaped lapel pin; an iconic and heartfelt representation of not only Hospice, but the thousands of patients and families Hospice has had the privilege of caring for, right here, in Windsor and Essex County.

Thanks to the help and generosity of Ground Effects LTD and Mega Mold International, these Dove Pins were generously designed and manufactured locally. Each pin will once again be offered by donation, and all funds raised will directly support care for local Hospice patients and families.

Hospice Volunteers will be offering pins at more than 32 locations across Windsor-Essex through the April 28/29/30, 2023 weekend, including various Home Hardware, Metro, Rexall, Shoppers Drug Mart, Sobeys and Zehrs locations, as well as at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens, Anna’s Garden, and Cindy’s Home and Garden.

“We are so happy to see Dove Pins return this year,” says Jim Scott, President of Ground Effects Ltd. “Hospice is very close to our hearts, and both the Ground Effects and the Mega Mold teams are proud to help.”

“Stop by this weekend to say hello to our amazing volunteers, make a donation, and proudly wear your own, locally made, Hospice Dove Pin,” says Nancy Brockenshire, Hospice Executive Director. “By making a donation and wearing this pin, you are helping us deliver memorable care to our community; and for that, we are eternally grateful.”

A list of locations where pins will be made available, as well as additional information about the campaign can be found online.
