🎁 Packing Party for the Veterans Manor Free Shoppi 🎁 Packing Party for the Veterans Manor Free Shopping Program 💙

We had a wonderful time at our packing party for the Veterans Manor Free Shopping Program! 🎉 Together, we assembled essential care kits that will be distributed to veterans and seniors in our community. 📦❤️

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. 🫶

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. 🌟

Together, we're helping build healthy communities in housing. 💙

🧹💪 Clean Team Program in Action! For many of the 🧹💪 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 💛
