Sponsor a Senior

No senior should ever have to choose between a warm meal and an activity that brings them joy.

After a lifetime of hard work, older adults deserve to age with dignity, connection, and without financial stress. Through our Sponsor a Senior program, your monthly gift helps provide nutritious meals, meaningful activities, and a caring community for those who need it most.

Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, and My Care Matters, we are able to continue creating a welcoming space where seniors feel supported, valued, and connected.

Volunteer Testimonials

  • Person wearing a wide-brimmed hat and blue shirt, sitting outdoors with foliage in the background.

    — Sharon, Volunteer, and Previous Board Member

    “In 12 years I've met and worked with a number of staff - all very committed to seniors and nonprofits. My favourite volunteer position at the South Granville Seniors Centre has been writing a column for the monthly newsletter. My column is called Did You Know and I'm given latitude to write what I please. I would encourage folks to think about what brings them joy and go looking for a place to volunteer at South Granville. It's neat to get out of your head and help.”

  • Smiling woman wearing sunglasses and a colorful dress sits on an orange chair outdoors.

    -Naveena, Volunteer Receptionist

    “I joined the South Granville Seniors Centre in 2004 and worked as a dishwasher for the Wednesday group, then I moved to the reception job. I was born in Fiji Islands, moved to Vancouver in 1970. It was a big adjustment for me [and] apart from speaking English I speak Hindi. I enjoy working at South Granville Seniors Centre and I would like to thank Ms. Danna, Ms. Gina and our new staff Ms. Linda. They all are very accommodating and welcoming. South Granville Seniors Centre has very good programs and activities for the Seniors to come and attend and enjoy.”

  • “I wanted to be able to give back to my community, especially to vulnerable populations, and South Granville Seniors Centre was the perfect option for me, as they were very flexible and welcoming. You get to meet people, and make great connections.”
