The Lending Cupboard gears up to celebrate National Volunteer Week!
Staff members at The Lending Cupboard are gearing up to celebrate our volunteers in a big way during National Volunteer Week (April 24 – 30).
It’s no secret that our mission to provide medical equipment to Central Albertans couldn’t be done without our dedicated team of volunteers who give so generously of their time.
“I have never experienced the kind of compassion, commitment and just overall empathy that we have with our volunteers here at The Lending Cupboard,” said Dawna Morey, executive director. “They are here to give so freely of themselves to perfect strangers in our community who are in need. We are talking about easily 10,000 volunteer hours per year.
“And they come back week after week, and some of them have been volunteering here at TLC for years!”
Morey noted that TLC staff will be celebrating National Volunteer Week with special lunchtime celebrations for our people. “Without the dedication and commitment of our volunteers, TLC would not be able to provide the high level of service it does,” said Brenda Radu, TLC’s volunteer coordinator. “From the very first day I started, this dedicated team has shown me what compassion, empathy and commitment means. They really care about TLC and the people it serves.”
Morey also noted that while it’s vital to recognize volunteers all year long, “It’s even more important that we and the community celebrate both our volunteers and the other volunteers in the community during National Volunteer Week.
“We hear a lot about volunteerism in our community, and without a doubt we have a strong sense of it across the region,” she said. “It’s strong because we know that when we give, we certainly get so much in return for it. We just can’t thank them enough.”

The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.
“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”
Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.
This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.
The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
