Hike for Hospice 2026

Last year alone, more than 7,500 individuals in our community were impacted by our care or bereavement support services. The need is only increasing due to population growth, aging, and cancer related illnesses.

Hospice relies on the community for
50% of our funding.

Each year we need to raise:

$5,770 to support a full day of Hospice supports
$585 to support a child through our HUUG Program
$482 to support an adult with Hospice Counselling
$226 to provide a client with one session of Social Connections
$44 to support someone calling our Hospice Help Line

We continue to be present, here and now, as we continue to listen, and adapt our current programs to meet the every evolving needs of people who reach out to us for support. We do the best with the resources entrusted to us to meet the growing needs of our city and region.

Our dedicated team of professionals and trained volunteers walk alongside each client, ensuring that no one journeys through life-limiting illness or loss alone.

The impact is profound as illustrated in this client's statement: 

“Before my wife was able to get into hospice, most of my time was spent
managing her care. When she got into a hospice centre, I felt a huge
weight lift off my shoulders knowing she was getting the care she needed
24/7. I finally got to spend time holding her hand and being her
husband again."

We invite you to join us in shaping the future of hospice care in our city. By supporting Hospice Mississauga, you are helping us expand in-home care services, ensuring that more people and their families can access support where they need it most.

While the funds raised from Hike for Hospice are directed to support our ongoing programs and services, we know there is a lot of excitement around the new Hospice Centre that starts construction in early 2026. We will provide updates about the build in this area and we will also be walking by the site during our walk on May 3rd! 

Together, we have an opportunity to build not only a centre, but a movement of compassion across Mississauga. Should you, your company or community group wish to support this project, please email giving@hospicemississauga.ca. Your support is more than a donation — it is an investment in a community where care, dignity, connection, and choice are accessible to all.
