Volunteer

Together, we can work to keep healthcare close to home!

Throughout the year, the Foundation relies on the help of our community — for the health of our community! Consider joining our roster of volunteers to help us in events like Valley Harvest Marathon, parades, Handmade Hugs, Middleton Heart Run, Valley Drive In, Making Spirits Bright, and Coat Check for a Cause.

By giving your time you’re not only helping to improve healthcare for the Annapolis Valley, but many of our volunteers have created social connections and skill development far beyond their volunteer roles! Connect today with the Foundation to be part of something BIG.

BIG Valley Give is our largest volunteer opportunity, happening each May. If you are interested in volunteering for this event, or throughout the year, please contact our office at 902-678-5414 or events@vrhfoundation.ca

If you would like to volunteer to host your own fundraiser to support the Foundation, find more information here!

Handmade Hugs

Are you a passionate knitter or crocheter who wants to bring comfort to your community using your skills?

A stay in the hospital, or having long treatment sessions like chemotherapy or dialysis, can often make one feel isolated and alone. Having a handmade blanket for comfort not only provides warmth in a chilly hospital environment, but also reminds patients there is a community behind them that cares.

Register as a Handmade Hugs volunteer to start making handmade blankets for your local regional hospital. We will provide more guidelines on yarns, patterns, and sizes needed after registering; as well as where to drop them off. Thanks!

Stay connected to local healthcare. Sign up for updates, stories, and impact from Valley Regional Hospital Foundation
