Seasons Owen Sound is marking five years of a program which gives back to the community.
Seasons says its signature Seniorosity program, created in 2018, is a volunteer-driven initiative geared to support and give back to the communities they are situated in.
The company adds for the past five years, over 200 residents from Seasons Retirement Communities have been dedicating their time to community service through fundraising efforts, charitable donations, and random acts of kindness in communities across Ontario and Alberta.
In addition to supporting their local communities, Seasons says the program also keeps their seniors active and boosts their feelings of happiness and sense of fulfillment.
Chief Operating Officer LeighAnne Voll says the residents at Seasons truly enjoy donating their time and adding value to local charity groups and organizations and sharing their wealth of knowledge.
“As valued members in their community, this program provides a great opportunity for residents to tap into their interests and make meaningful contributions and connections,” says Voll.
Seniors have taken part in a variety of fundraising initiatives including supporting the Alzheimer’s Society, Chapman House, and Friend of the Grey Bruce Animal Shelter, and have surprised local care workers with appreciation baskets and homemade treats.
General Manager at Seasons Owen Sound Polly Kirstine says their residents feel accomplished giving back to the community.
“We’re pleased to see how the Seniorosity program continues to grow and evolve each year positively impacting the community at large as well as our residents,” says Kirstine.
