​GREEN WOOD COALITION​
uses a radically inclusive, community model of caring to 
walk alongside people living with  poverty,  mental or
physical illness, drug dependency, or disability
in Northumberland County. 
By focusing on what's strong, not what's wrong, we work for
positive change that leaves no one behind.



​Green Wood Coalition is supported by ​our generous individual donors,
as well as Cameco Corporation and the Municipality of Port Hope.
​Registered Canadian Charity: 835935263RR0001

Our weekly Creative Arts Group was in the shade of our backyard today, messing with fabric dyes, making fabulous tie-dye magic like this. The Thursday group is always a great exercise in letting go of other (usually more difficult) parts of life to focus on something positive. Be sure to drop by Harden & Huyse Cafe in Cobourg to see the exhibition of the group's work that's on display until the end of July.

"The Northumberland Charity Golf Tournament organized by the Port Hope Knights of Columbus saw 75 golfers brave plenty of rain to finish their 18 holes at Ashbrooke Golf Course on June 22. During the event a hockey jersey donated by Shane O'Brien of the Colorado Avalanche was raffled off. The tournament raised $7,200 to be split evenly between the Northumberland Hills Hospital Palliative Care Unit and the Green Wood Coalition. This was the second annual fundraising tournament hosted by the K of C. Last year's raised $7,000 for the window restoration project of Our Lady of Mercy Roman Catholic Church in Port Hope. Pictured are (from left) David Sheffield of Green Wood Coalition, Ross Fraser and Hugh Penney of the Port Hope Knights of Columbus, and Adrienne Barrie of the Northumberland Hills Hospital."
