by Susan Smith, Executive Director, Seniors’ Community Services
As a small community service organization, we rely on donations to bridge the gap our funders are unable to fill. The generosity of individuals and families, as well as local businesses and service groups, is critical in helping us maintain the quality and quantity of our services and programs.
That generosity was on full display through the contributions three local businesses recently provided Senior’s Community Services, as we transitioned from our former name of Kemptville & District Home Support.
Donations of money and services from Grenville Mutual Insurance, TD Graham + Associates Marketing Communications, and ProBase Web allowed us to plan the transition to our new name and look, develop our new logo, update and launch our new website, and purchase and install new external and internal signage. These important changes are part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that the people who can benefit from our services know who we are and how we can help them.
As I recognize the generous spirit of our community, I also want to recognize the volunteers who support me and my staff in raising money for the organization through our Fundraising Committee. From planning and running revenue raising events to reaching out to potential donors, these volunteers give of their time, energy and creativity in immeasurable ways. If you have an interest in joining the Fundraising Committee, please reach out and I, or another member of our committee, would be happy to talk with you about it.
Seniors’ Community Services delivers community- based services and programs designed to enhance the independent living and quality of life of seniors, and adults with physical disabilities. To learn more about us, please visit www.seniorscs.ca or call us at 613-258-3203.
