During the holiday, we receive numerous requests and referrals to assist low-income seniors facing challenging circumstances. The costs of groceries and essential items have surged, compelling seniors to confront difficult choices.
Last year, we helped 108 low-income seniors by providing them with essential supplies, food, and holiday gift cards. Anticipating a growing demand this year, we are reaching out for your support. Your contributions can make a significant impact, helping us raise funds to provide basic necessities and enable them to partake in the joyous festivities of this crucial time of the year. Whether in the form of cash or gift cards, your donations will go a long way in assisting those who are unable to help themselves. Join us in making a difference and ensuring that no senior is left behind during the holiday season. Contact us to arrange gift cards donations, or donate directly on our website.

Do you have any feedback? We’d love to hear from you! Seniors Success Showcase

Our Book and Boost campaign, in partnership with Health Canada, encourages immigrant seniors to get their COVID-19 boosters as a preventive measure. We're using culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate and senior-friendly strategies to design and disseminate information that will directly and indirectly reach them. Where can you book a booster vaccine in Calgary, Alberta?
