Our Charities
The Good Neighbour’s Food Bank distributes food to families of Embrun, Limoges, Marionville and Russell every week. We give non perishables, fresh vegetables, meat, and prepared meals. The money collected will also help buy gift cards before holidays like Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas.
A new local project by the Kin Club of Russell to construct a clean and secure storage facility with multiple sized storage rooms and lockers, along with access to sea cans (shipping containers) for larger items and equipment.

Victoria’s Quilts Canada is a non-profit group providing handmade quilts for people living with cancer of all ages. The quilts we provide are made by volunteers quilters who work independently or in groups.
The work we do is generously supported by sponsors, individual donations and groups fundraising activities. We deliver the quilts at no cost to the requestor or the recipient. I hope you will keep us making quilts and spreading comfort to patients and often to the families through the grieving process.
Our donors help make health care close to home a reality! Many people are surprised that the provincial government does not fund everything that Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) needs to provide compassionate, excellent health care – including the purchase of medical equipment. That’s where the WDMH Foundation comes in. We are grateful to work with generous donors every day.
Proceeds from the 2022 Kin Club of Russell Catch the Ace lottery will be used to help purchase much-needed medical equipment for WDMH.
