The Table Soup Kitchen Foundation is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian organization committed to lovingly serve people who are in need in the Muskoka area. And their funds are low and needs community support.
I vote for Muskoka Animal Shelter because they rescue dogs and it’s good to know that if my dog Max went missing, and they saw him on the street then I know they would bring him to the animal shelter and he would be safe.

Victimized women are so vulnerable and desperately need protection. Please support this organization,
As a society, were are very uncomfortable with the topic of death and dying. When someone you love is dealing with a life-limiting illness or has died, you may feel lost and alone. Hospice Muskoka says “We’ll be thee!” Specially trained volunteers provide psycho-social-emotional and practical support, as well as grief and bereavement programs for individuals of all ages. As well, Hospice Muskoka is working with the Andrew Potts Memorial Foundation to build Andy’s House, a hospice palliative care community hub in Port Carling which will serve all of South and West Muskoka.
Hospice Muskoka
Provides caregiver relief in homes to families of folks dealing with a serious illness as well as friendly visits to seniors and other long term patients in hospital and nursing homes all over Muskoka and as far south as Port Severn . Currently fundraising for a hospice facility to be built to house terminally ill which will be known as Andy’s House
in memory of Constable Andy Potts.
Hospice Muskoka and I reiterate all that has been said about this organization. What many are not aware is that Hospice also assists those who are left behind to grieve the departure of their loved ones. Hospice volunteers do one on one grief counselling and facilitate groups to help many get through one of the most difficult times of their life.
Hospice Muskoka is a wonderful group of volunteers providing support to many residents who need a back up system with their health struggles
I vote for Hospice Muskoka, which provides a wonderful caring service in our area.
