We have just a few weeks left of the 2021 campaign and we have not yet met our goal. Our campaign volunteers have been working incredibly hard and have raised over a million dollars already for our charities! But, we still have a ways to go before we hit our target.
The 21 charities that Federated Health supports have been working overtime this past year trying to support the health of our communities. They have seen a drastic increase in the demand for their services, while at the same time experiencing significant reductions in resources. Essentially, this has left them trying to make something out of nothing. Thousands of individuals and families across the provinces rely on their services to maintain their health and quality of life and they have been struggling to meet that need.
We are committed to doing everything we can to help get these incredible organizations back on their feet. We cannot do this alone though. So, our ask is simple, please help. There are several ways to get involved, allowing you to pick the method that suits you best. If you are able, now is the time to lend a hand and help our communities across the province.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, no donation is too small. The millions of dollars we raise each year are made up of thousands of small donations. Thousands of people deciding they can spare $5, $20, $50 and getting involved. We ask you to join them.
The ways you can get involved include:
1) The easiest and most effective way to give is to make a payroll pledge.
If you have access to WIN and would like to make a donation, please click this link (My Charity page in WIN) to log-in to your WIN account and make another pledge.
If you do not currently have access to WIN you can still make a payroll pledge by filling out this fillable donation form and submitting it directly to OSS through the appropriate email address:
North Bay: OSS.Payroll.NorthBay@ontario.ca
Thunder Bay: OSS.Payroll.thunderbay@ontario.ca
Orillia: OSS.Payroll.Orillia@ontario.ca
GTA & rest of province: OSS.payroll.gta@ontario.ca
2) Attending one of the many special events happening within your ministry. There is a wide variety of virtual events available and they are a great way to take a little break from your day, connect with your colleagues, and have fun.
3) You can buy a ticket (or two!) to the Federated Health Lottery. Tickets are $5 (plus online processing fee) and there are 5 cash prizes, with the gran prize being $15,000!!
