Our residents had a great time picking out their new reading glasses! From trying on different frames to showing off their favorites and asking their neighbors for their opinions, there was lots of energy and smiles! 😄

Reading glasses make everyday activities like reading a book, doing puzzles, or enjoying the morning newspaper easier for our seniors! It was wonderful to see our residents find a pair they loved while enjoying a little shopping fun! 📚👓

🛍️ Free Shopping: More Than Just the Essentials! 🛍️ Free Shopping: More Than Just the Essentials!

Through our Free Shopping Program, residents can choose from items they need, including toiletries, clothing suitable for the season, small household items, and food security supports.

These may seem like small things, but having access to basic necessities can support confidence, independence, and overall quality of life.

At Whole Way House, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to feel valued and have their basic needs met with dignity - all while having a little fun together doing it! ❤️

Thank you to our incredible volunteers and program donors, @forestersfinancial and City Serve @coastal_church, who make programs like Free Shopping possible. ❤️
