Break the isolation of seniors

The social isolation of seniors can have a dramatic impact not only on their own physical and psychological health but also on communities, who miss out on their rich experiences. 

Thanks to your donations, Centraide supports a network of 26 agencies and projects whose mission is to help seniors stay active and engaged in their communities. An annual investment of $1.3 M.

These agencies often become places of belonging, mutual aid and sharing that are extremely important for vulnerable seniors (due to a precarious financial situation or reduced mobility).

Concrete and lasting initiatives:

• Cultural, recreational, information and service activities (preparing income tax returns)
• Community work with at-risk seniors (HLM's, residences)
• Intergenerational activities (homework assistance, pairing with youth in difficulty)
