Building a Healthier Northumberland—Together
At Community Health Centres of Northumberland, we believe everyone deserves access to compassionate, high-quality care—regardless of income, background, or circumstance.
Why Your Donation Matters
Supporting Health, Dignity, and Belonging
A donation to CHCN is more than a gift—it’s a statement of care for your community. It says that healthcare should be accessible, inclusive, and rooted in compassion. From life-saving clinical services to programs that address food insecurity, social isolation, and mental health, CHCN works every day to meet people where they are.
Your support makes this possible. Donations allow us to respond to growing needs, expand vital services, and ensure that care remains available to those who might otherwise go without. Together, we can build a healthier, more connected Northumberland County.
Real People. Real Needs. Real Impact.
Behind every CHCN program is a person—a senior striving to remain independent, a family accessing healthy food, a youth finding connection, or someone receiving care when they need it most. These moments of support don’t happen by chance. They are strengthened by donors who believe in community-based care and health equity.
Your donation helps turn compassion into action. It supports the everyday work of our care teams, volunteers, and community partners who are committed to improving lives and strengthening wellbeing across Northumberland County.

Make a Difference Today—Help Support Our Northumberland Community
Give to Our Areas of Most Need
Give where the need is greatest—today. Your gift gives CHCN the ability to act immediately where it will make the greatest difference as community needs change.
When you donate to CHCN’s Areas of Most Need, your generosity is directed to the programs and services facing the most urgent demand. This flexible funding allows us to respond quickly when waitlists grow, costs rise, or new community needs emerge.
Client Support Fund
Removing barriers so care is truly accessible. Because health outcomes improve when people can actually access the care they need.
Many CHCN clients face financial, transportation, or social barriers that make accessing health care difficult—even when services exist. The Client Support Fund provides direct assistance to help people attend appointments, participate in programs, and access basic necessities connected to their health and wellbeing.
Your donation may help cover transportation, food support, program supplies, or other client-identified needs—ensuring care is compassionate, holistic, and equitable.
Community Expansion
Growing with our community—together. Because investing in prevention, connection, and innovation strengthens the whole community.
As Northumberland County grows and evolves, so do community needs. CHCN’s Community Expansion fund supports the growth of children and youth programs, community connection initiatives, and innovative new services responding to identified gaps.
From youth drop-ins and skill-building programs, to social prescribing and emerging community partnerships, your gift helps CHCN reach more people, in more places, with meaningful support.
Dental Care
Oral health is essential health—no one should suffer simply because they can’t afford dental care.
CHCN’s Dental Clinic provides full-service dental care for individuals and families who face financial barriers or lack insurance coverage. Services include full comprehensive exams, cleanings, fillings, extractions, and dentures —often for people who would otherwise go without treatment.
Your donation helps reduce pain, prevent serious illness, and restore dignity—particularly for seniors, low-income families, children, and people without dental benefits.
Exercise Programming
Movement, mobility, and connection—at every age. Because staying active is key to healthy aging—and no one should be excluded.
CHCN offers accessible exercise and wellness programs that support physical health, balance, and social connection. Programs include strength and balance classes, yoga, and a range of chair-based and standing or floor-based options, as well as activities focused on flexibility and range of motion.
Your donation helps keep these programs low barrier, inclusive, and responsive—supporting older adults and others to remain active, connected, and independent.
Food Security
Nourishing people—and dignity. Because food is foundational to health—and choice matters.
CHCN’s food security programs include a shopping model food bank, affordable Food Markets, a Sharing Garden, and community meals. These programs address hunger while also building skills, confidence, and community connection. The CHCN has pledged to purchase a variety of fresh produce and lean proteins every week to offer in our weekly food cupboard to help supplement the staples we already offer.
Your donation helps ensure families, seniors, and individuals can access healthy, affordable food—while also supporting education, sustainability, and local food systems.
Health Equity
Care that affirms, respects, and includes. Because equitable care leads to better health—and stronger communities.
CHCN’s health equity work ensures services are accessible, inclusive, and responsive—particularly for people who experience systemic barriers to care. This includes gender-affirming primary care, 2SLGBTQI+ programs and supports, and equity-focused initiatives across the organization.
Your donation helps create safe, welcoming spaces and ensures care is delivered with dignity, cultural humility, and respect for every person’s identity and lived experience.
Mental Health & Counselling
Support when it’s needed most. Because mental health care saves lives—and connection fosters healing.
CHCN provides individual counselling, therapeutic groups, mental health walk-in services, and caregiver supports for people of all ages. Services address ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, caregiving stress, and more—often at pivotal moments in people’s lives.
Your donation helps reduce wait times, expand group programs, and ensure no one has to navigate mental health challenges alone.
