Here are the projects we are currently working on to help long-term care homes during the ongoing pandemic:

COMMUNITY CARE

To support our frontline workers, we are partnering with businesses, organizations, and restaurants to provide them with coffee, baked goods, meals, energy drinks, and self-care products. We thank our partners for their continued support.

COMPANION CALLS

Confusion, sadness, and loneliness have risen during the ongoing pandemic. Even a short conversation can brighten someone's day. We pair residents with volunteers to have weekly video calls to help them remain integrated with the community.

Here are some of our previous projects:

PEN PALS

Residents in long-term care homes are facing isolation due to restrictions in response to the pandemic. We delivered 50 pen pal letters to residents to help keep them company during lockdown.

BLOOM TOGETHER

Gardening improves the overall quality of life for residents. We provided long-term care homes with gardening tools, soil, plants, and flowers to help engage residents in a fun and relaxing communal outdoor activity.

COMMUNITY CHEER

Maintaining communication with residents during the holidays is especially important, as they may be apart from family and friends they usually celebrate with. We delivered 173 handwritten holiday cards to residents.
