The Villa Saint Joseph-du-Lac Foundation is a registered charitable organization providing funding to enhance resident care at Villa Saint Joseph-du-Lac. We rely on the generosity of others to help us continue to provide the expert and loving care that benefit so many.
Since its inception and through the generosity of the community, the Foundation has helped to fund the purchase of our 15 passenger bus which is utilized by our residents for outings, recreation equipment and other items which are not funded for by the Department of Health.
The Villa Saint Joseph-du-Lac Foundation is governed by a voluntary board of directors with representation from the community and Villa management. Funds are raised through gifts, special events and other fundraising activities.
