Building healthy communities in housing by providing community programs & tenant support for seniors, veterans and people with disabilities in BC.

๐ŸŽ Packing Party for the Veterans Manor Free Shoppi ๐ŸŽ Packing Party for the Veterans Manor Free Shopping Program ๐Ÿ’™

We had a wonderful time at our packing party for the Veterans Manor Free Shopping Program! ๐ŸŽ‰ Together, we assembled essential care kits that will be distributed to veterans and seniors in our community. ๐Ÿ“ฆโค๏ธ

For many residents, some months mean making difficult choices between groceries and everyday essentials like toiletries, household items, and personal care products. These care kits help ease that burden by providing practical support while reminding residents that they are seen, valued, and cared for. ๐Ÿซถ

A heartfelt thank you to the generous support of the BC Branch of @forestersfinancial through the Foresters Care Grant and Community Volunteer Grant. Your partnership helps turn compassion into practical care. ๐ŸŒŸ

Together, we're helping build healthy communities in housing. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ’ช Clean Team Program in Action! For many of the ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ’ช Clean Team Program in Action!

For many of the seniors and residents we support, keeping up with home maintenance can become an overwhelming, even isolating challenge, especially when mobility, health, or limited resources make everyday tasks harder to keep on top of.

Our Clean Team Program exists to meet that need with compassion, rolling up our sleeves alongside volunteers to restore safe, clean, and dignified living spaces. But this isn't just about one clean-up day. It's about opening the door to ongoing support: connecting residents with the resources, check-ins, and community relationships that help them maintain their space and independence for the long haul.

A HUGE thank you to the @weareresonatechurch Serve Team for bringing such heart, hard work, and encouragement to this effort ๐Ÿ’›

โ˜•โค๏ธ A huge thank you to the incredible team from @purposelyco for joining us at Veterans Manor for our Morning Coffee Program!

Morning Coffee at Veterans Manor is so much more than a cup of coffee. It's a time of connection, friendship, and routine. A warm smile, a listening ear, and a piping hot cup of coffee help our veteran residents start their day feeling seen, valued, and part of a caring community.

Purposely has a heart for connecting groups with meaningful opportunities to serve nonprofits, so it was especially encouraging to have their own team roll up their sleeves and serve alongside us. Thank you, Purposely, for bringing your kindness, energy, and servant hearts to our residents. We loved having you with us!

At Whole Way House, ReCenter means helping residents thrive by connecting them with the supports and resources they need to live meaningful, purposeful lives! ๐Ÿ’™

Earlier this year, our staff helped one of our residents apply for the HME Gives Back Grant through @hme_bc, and we were thrilled to learn he was selected! ๐ŸŽ‰

This week, Nikki from @hme_bc installed a new wheelchair backrest and specialized cushion for the resident. โ™ฟโœจ

His wheelchair is essential to his daily life, and some of the equipment he had been using was over 16 years old! After years of discomfort, this upgrade will bring greater comfort, support, and independence. Seeing his gratitude and excitement was truly heartwarming. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฅน

This is ReCenter in action: connecting residents with resources that improve their quality of life. ๐ŸŒŸ

Thank you to @hme_bc for making a meaningful difference! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’™
