Give Thanks
What is Give Thanks
Give Thanks is a way for you to express your gratitude for the compassionate care you or a loved one received at a Providence Health Care or Providence Living site. When you share your story or make a gift, you’re saying thank you to the caregivers who made a difference and helping ensure others receive that same exceptional care.

-
Leave a gift in your will
Leaving a gift in your will is a powerful way to say thank you for the care that changed your or your loved one’s life. It’s a meaningful gesture that expresses your gratitude and the impact that care had on you. And it ensures that others can receive the same compassionate care for years to come. -
Stocks, Securities & Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
A gift of shares, mutual funds, or donor-advised funds is a smart and impactful way to give back. They can offer significant tax advantages while supporting the people who cared for you and/or your loved ones. Your generosity helps ensure that others receive the same life-changing care you and/ or your loved ones did.
Your story is powerful – and your gift can be life-changing. Honour the care that touched your life by helping others receive the same.
