Community Health Centres of Northumberland is recognizing the generosity of local residents while encouraging continued support for its programs and services.
The organization served approximately 5,500 Northumberland residents during the 2025-26 fiscal year, recording more than 42,500 interactions. Its outreach services extended to Port Hope, Cobourg, Grafton, Alderville, Roseneath and Colborne.
While government funding covers core operations, community donations help expand programs, improve outreach and respond to additional needs.
In its latest newsletter, the organization highlighted several ways people can contribute, including a new online donation platform called Zeffy, which allows Community Health Centres of Northumberland to receive the full value of donations without processing or administrative fees.
Its Help Make Change Happen campaign also accepts leftover foreign currency, Canadian cash, coins and old currency through a partnership with Global Coin Solutions.
Donations can be dropped off at its Port Hope location at 99 Toronto Road.
The organization is also promoting its Art with Heart campaign, with retired physician and artist Dr. Nayla Zalzal donating 30 per cent of painting sales to support its work.
