Easter Family Lunch! ๐Ÿฐ๐ŸŒผ There is something really Easter Family Lunch! ๐Ÿฐ๐ŸŒผ

There is something really special about coming together with friends and neighbours and sharing a meal! It's one of the oldest and most meaningful ways people across all cultures build community, friendship, and a sense of belonging. Gathering around a table to share not just food, but also love, laughter, and stories.

This Easter, 37 Campbell Lodge Residents joined us for our Easter Family Lunch. It was wonderful to see the camaraderie, connections, laughter and even some new faces! Our family lunches are a great opportunity for the residents to get to know each other and to help strengthen our community here.

Big thanks to Gateway Church who sent 9 amazing volunteers to help serve lunch for our residents. We are so grateful for our continued partnership. 

A beautiful Easter lunch enjoyed by all and we hope the residents at Campbell Lodge felt just as loved and uplifted as we did. ๐Ÿ’•

We had such an amazing time celebrating together at our Easter family lunch ๐Ÿ’› Our space was filled with joy, laughter, and a beautiful sense of community spirit.

It was especially heartwarming to see residents who do not usually spend time together sitting side by side, sharing a meal, and enjoying each otherโ€™s company ๐Ÿฅฐ Moments like these remind us how important connection is. Programs like this help reduce social isolation by creating opportunities for people to come together, build relationships, and enjoy a wonderful Easter meal as a community.

๐Ÿ’ฐ BC Unclaimed Property Presentation ๐Ÿ’› We recentl ๐Ÿ’ฐ BC Unclaimed Property Presentation ๐Ÿ’›

We recently hosted a BC Unclaimed Property presentation for our residents, where they learned about money that may be waiting to be claimed in their name.

Through the BC Unclaimed Property @bc.unclaimed program, funds from things like old credit union accounts, unpaid wages, overpaid debts and money left in the courts are safely held until the rightful owner comes forward to claim them.

For many low income seniors, learning about programs like this is incredibly valuable. Even small amounts of unclaimed money can help with everyday expenses and provide extra financial support.

Thank you to @thextonpublicrelations for volunteering to share this important information with our residents and helping them understand how they can check if funds belong to them. ๐Ÿ’›

Service Canada and CRA Tax Clinic ๐Ÿ“„๐Ÿค We recently Service Canada and CRA Tax Clinic ๐Ÿ“„๐Ÿค

We recently hosted a special tax clinic across our sites in partnership with Service Canada and dedicated tax volunteers. This program is especially important for many of our residents who face mobility challenges or find navigating the community and filing taxes difficult.

The Outreach Team coordinated clinics across 5 of our sites in the Lower Mainland, supporting 197 residents with their tax filings and assisting 64 residents with Service Canada inquiries. Tax volunteers patiently walked residents through their tax returns while Service Canada representatives answered questions about pensions, the Canadian Dental Care Plan, and other important benefits.

For many low income seniors in our community, filing taxes is the key to accessing essential benefits that help them afford everyday necessities. By helping residents file their taxes, the team ensured they could receive the financial supports they are entitled to, including tax refunds, GST credits, and other benefits totaling over $220,000 dollars returned to our WWH residents!!!!!

This kind of support makes a real difference in the lives of seniors living in affordable housing and helps them maintain stability, dignity, and peace of mind. ๐Ÿ’›

A heartfelt thank you to Service Canada (@esdc_gc) and all the tax volunteers who made this clinic possible. Your kindness and support mean so much to the seniors in our community. ๐Ÿ™
