We’ve received several letters from local seniors passing on their COVID-19 payments to help others more in need. Even in challenging times, the generosity of this community never ceases to amaze! Thank you to everyone who has made a donation during this time.

COVID-19 has been especially difficult for seniors living in care, cut off from family and the programs they need. Please consider donating your used bottles and cans to help Eldercare Foundation buy new equipment and comfort items for Priory Hospital residents.

For seniors living in long-term care, it’s often the little things that bring comfort and joy. Eldercare is seeking small succulents, and other low-maintenance potted plants to help support seniors in care. Can you help, or make a donation? gvef.org
