Northwood’s Giving Tree

The Giving Tree Program unites community, staff and families to bring gifts to Northwood residents – making sure they feel loved and remembered during the Holidays. Learn how to take part in the Giving Tree program.

Why Support Northwood’s Giving Tree

Since 1962, Northwood has championed the rights and dignity of seniors in Halifax, responding to their needs with compassion and innovation. As the largest not-for-profit continuing-care organization in Atlantic Canada, we are committed to ensuring that older adults live with dignity and respect.

During the holidays, we are thrilled to host our Giving Tree Program in the community. This initiative allows your staff to share joy with our residents, many of whom may not have family or friends to celebrate with. Imagine the impact of a small, thoughtful gift that lets them know they are remembered.

Become a Giving Tree Champion

If your organization is interested in adopting Northwood’s Giving Tree Program, please contact Katherine at 902-493-3015 or Katherine.Nehley@Northwoodfoundation.ca. She will provide you with a Giving Tree Package to get started.

This year, we are also offering a virtual tree where participants can select items from a list and participate without a physical tree.

Your support ensures that every Northwood resident feels loved and remembered during the holidays. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives. Thank you for being a vital part of our community and for sharing your compassion with those who need it most.
