When emergencies strike, fast and coordinated responses can make all the difference. The Ladysmith Health Care Auxiliary is proud to offer funding through our Emergency & Crisis Response Support stream to help local organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from urgent situations that impact the health and safety of our community.
