Applying for the Sponsor a Senior Program
Seniors interested in applying for the Sponsor a Senior Program are invited to come to the Centre to fill out the registration form. In some cases they may be asked some additional screening questions or to provide proof of income .
For reference, a low-income senior living alone is considered to have an annual income below approximately $25,000 (based on current low-income thresholds).
All this donations will go directly toward the Sponsor a Senior Program.
Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee sponsorship. All applications will be carefully reviewed, and priority will be given to seniors with the greatest financial need, ensuring the program reaches those who need it most.
This thoughtful process allows us to steward Helga’s gift - and all future donations - with care, fairness, and integrity.
With your help, we can continue what Helga started
Your donation will allow more seniors to enjoy:
Free nutritious meals at the Centre
Access to outings, special events, and activities
Support with accessibility needs, helping every senior participate fully
Every contribution makes a difference — whether it’s $20 for a warm meal, $50 for a day trip, or $100 to sponsor both a meal and an activity for a senior in need.
