It is a registered not-for-profit and provides income tax deductible receipts for all donations. KDHSF holds two annual fundraisers:

Journey for Health
A HUGE THANK YOU goes to all who participated in, or contributed to, the 2023 25th Annual Journey for Health!
The community came together in record numbers to celebrate and support the Kinmount & District Health Centre! Together we raised almost $13,000, and donations are still coming in!
2022 Journey for Health
The 24th Annual Journey for Health was held under sunny skies on Sunday, August 14th . We very much appreciate the 30 participants who helped us raise $9,803! A huge thank you to Sam Iskander from the Kinmount Pharmacy at the KDHC who kindly once again honoured his annual pledge to match the highest fundraiser up to $1500 by presenting a cheque in that amount to the KDHSF!
