Handbags for Health 2024

There’s nothing like a night out in support of a good cause! Handbags for Health (formerly Handbags for Hospice) is our premiere event, that offers an evening of fun, fashion and fundraising. This “girls night out” event brings over 250 women together to let loose, mingle, shop, indulge and, of course, be charitable! Catch up with old friends and business colleagues while enjoying current fashion and beauty trends, tasty foods, and raising funds for Community Care’s programs and services.

Proceeds from Handbags for Health will go towards Community Care’s programming. Community Care helps seniors stay safe, connected, and live as independently as possible. A healthy community means that everyone has access to health and wellness services regardless of circumstances. With your support, we are able to provide these necessities to all those who need them. To honour the history of the event and its supporters, proceeds raised from the Fund-a-Need portion of the evening will continue to go towards Hospice Services.

Though Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes does receive some outside funding, the reality is that many of our programs need to be funded or require additional funds. Our Handbags for Health will help raise much-needed funds to support our extensive programs this year. From funding for new integral Specialized Transportation vans or our Community Dental Clinic, subsidies for transportation, Meals on Wheels, and Adult Day programming, to ensuring that our Hospice & Grief Services continue to serve those in need in our community, and so much more.
