Wellwood Hospital Site Has Reopened For Drop-offs

May 13, 2026 | News

We are so happy to share that Wellwood’s hospital site is now open. Please feel free to drop off any afghan or square donations at our office (711 Concession Street, Hamilton, Level 1, E Wing).

Alternatively, you can always drop them off at our community site, 501 Sanatorium Road, Hamilton. This is where the afghans are processed and we would be delighted to provide you with a tour of our beautiful building.

Thank you for your patience and understanding over the past month as we worked through this disruption. Your continued support means so much to us.

Warm regards,
Karla Jones
Manager of Volunteer Engagement
