ONE CARE provides essential services to our community and we have refocused our efforts to ensure that the most pressing needs of our seniors and individuals with health challenges are met. We continue to provide personal support to clients in home, and are seeing a significant increase in the need to support food services for our vulnerable populations. We have responded by increasing the capacity of our Meals on Wheels program, adding bulk frozen meal curbside pick up, and continuing services like in home personal support and respite. We are committed to ensuring that vulnerable people in our community receive these essential services, and that cost does not become a barrier. We very much appreciate the support we receive from the community, and are grateful for any donations to help us as we respond to the needs of our community. We are grateful for your support. The net proceeds from all gifts and fundraising events for ONE CARE are directed towards clients in need of financial subsidy, and the purchase and maintenance of essential program equipment and facilities. 

The net proceeds from all fundraising efforts continue to support important programs such as those mentioned above by ensuring that cost does not become a barrier for our clients. While we are able to offer some of our programs free of charge, for some we require fees for service which helps us offset reimbursing volunteer mileage, or pay for rising food or gas costs. For programs like Meals on Wheels, Transportation, Respite services and Home Help, your donation helps to reduce the costs to ensure our services are accessible to anyone who needs them, regardless of their financial situation. By donating to ONE CARE, you can support some of our most vulnerable neighbours when they need it most.

Many of our programs require equipment and facilities in order for us to provide essential services to our clients, and our funding does not cover the costs of many of these items. Our transportation program provides individuals with rides to medical appointments, essential errands, and social activities. Tools for Footcare, protective masks, food cooler bags and exercise equipment are just a few other examples of items that we need support to purchase and maintain.

The holiday season is a time to remember and celebrate the many gifts in our lives, and a time to consider ways to give to those in our community. At ONE CARE, this means giving the Gift of Care. Make a donation today to ensure we can continue to help seniors and individuals with health challenges to live at home in a caring community, within a network of support. You can make a one-donation, or become one of our monthly donors and help our clients year round!
