We're so grateful that Jennifer is a part of our organization!

⭐ 2026 Community Awards Spotlight – Jennifer Hoy ⭐

Jennifer Hoy is another deserving recipient of our Exceptional Volunteer award.

Jennifer is a tireless and deeply dedicated volunteer whose leadership has had a profound impact on the Mississippi Mills Youth Centre. After more than five years on the board, she now serves as its president, helping guide programs, support staff, and ensure youth have a safe, welcoming place to grow. Known as a steady, grounding presence, Jennifer is always the first to step up — whether it’s attending meetings, organizing fundraisers, or filling gaps wherever help is needed. Her support and mentorship have been invaluable to the MMYC team.

Beyond her work with youth, Jennifer also shares her talents with Home Hospice North Lanark as part of the Comfort Care knitting group, creating shawls and items of comfort for individuals receiving hospice care.
