Become a VOLUNTEER

Volunteers at the first-ever SHN ZOO DAY!

At SHN Foundation, volunteers are the backbone of our organization. Without their tireless efforts and dedication, we wouldn’t be able to support our Scarborough hospitals and their goal of providing exceptional quality care. From helping out at our events to providing administrative support and working on various projects, our volunteers play a critical role in advancing our cause. We are inspired every day by their commitment to the community and how they make a difference.

Tell Us Your Story of Grit

We want to hear your story of Scarborough GRIT. That passion that drives you, that fire that doesn’t take no for an answer. Whether you have a personal story of overcoming obstacles, an experience in our hospitals that your healthcare teams went above and beyond, or anything in between–we want to hear from you! Your story may be featured on SHN channels (with your permission), and we may be in touch to hear more about your experiences.

Members of the Scarborough Women of Philanthropy (SWOP) Philanthropic Council at the annual Sip, Shop & Celebrate event

Our Philanthropic Councils are dedicated groups of volunteers who share a common goal–to support Scarborough hospitals through the power of community.

The vision for the Philanthropic Councils is to create a voice for advocacy and diversity through supporting SHN. Through information sharing and engaging in feedback and exchange, council executives act as an inclusive voice from a culturally diverse perspective. Specifically, each council cultivates events identified by its members and is responsible for identifying and soliciting prospective major gifts within the community, while also focusing effort on motivating advocacy and political movement.

Members will discover the power of joining their voices and giving together, all for our common interest, our health. If you are interested in joining one of our Philanthropic Councils, please contact us below.

Want to start your own fundraiser with proceeds going to your community hospital? You can fundraise your way through our Show Your Love portal! Whatever your idea, you can create your own fundraiser using our platform to gather donations. From baking to running to gaming, anything can become a fundraiser!

As we are heading into the Chinese New Year, we invite you to share the Chinese New Year holiday spirit, and make a donation to the Scarborough Health Network Foundation.

Chinese New Year is a joyful time of the year for all of us in the Chinese community, but it is also the best time for us to reflect the challenges we are facing today.

Don’t miss the opportunity to make a difference for our healthcare system, and support our local hospitals through a donation.
