Donate or Volunteer

Donate

Give the gift of independence – so much better than a new trinket or sweater. You can donate to the program in general; assist with a specific service such as transportation to out of town appointments, or on the account of a loved one if they are a registered participant.

All donations help us to expand our capacity to reach more seniors needing support in our community. We welcome all donations and will provide a charitable receipt upon request for general donations to the program. Be sure to indicate Better at Home program and any specific information.

With flexible schedules and time commitments to suit your needs, there are many ways to be involved in your community.
