Thank you from Dogwood Lodge

As we look back on what has certainly been an unprecedented time in all of our lives, one thing remains constant and clear which is our appreciation of you! We are so grateful for you, our loyal donors and customers, and so appreciative for your incredible generosity and thoughtful support which succeeded in adding so much magic to the lives of our friends at Dogwood Lodge over the holidays. Because of you we were able to surprise the Dogwood Lodge residents with individualized Christmas gifts which added so much joy to their lives at a time when many people haven’t been able to see, or be with, their families for long periods of time.

A very heartfelt thank you from all of us at the VGH Thrift Store. May 2022 be a year that is filled with tremendous happiness and love for you. #grateful #thriftshop #thriftstore #VGH #dogwoodlodge #donations #Christmas #vghthriftstore #happynewyear2022 #pandemic #thankyou #support #supportlocal #loyal

On behalf of Dogwood Lodge, we would like to extend a big thank you for the funding that allowed us to have a joyful and bountiful Christmas season full of gifts, treats and beautiful decor. All 85 of our long-term care residents were gifted unique and individualized presents for Christmas. So many residents were absolutely shocked at what they were gifted and everyone was so happy to have received something special this Christmas.

The funding also allowed us to purchase new décor which enhanced the Christmas atmosphere in the facility. We purchased this inflatable Santa (which was a facility favourite, everyone was taking pictures), an inflatable Snowman, new indoor and outdoor twinkling lights and shiny new jingle bells for residents to ring.

We had a great Christmas season and it wouldn’t have been possible without the funding from the VCH thrift shop society. Thank you so much.
