Ways to Give

Compassion in action: what it means to give

Giving isn’t just about money; it’s about heart. It’s about seeing a need and stepping up to fill it.

Wendy’s mom lived at Veterans Memorial Lodge. Wendy visited her mom often, and saw how people laughed together over a craft project, or enjoyed a musical performance. She knew how much activities like this meant to her mom. Moved by this, Wendy and her family make donations to fund more activities, knowing their gifts keeps those smiles alive.

And Wendy’s philanthropic spirit doesn’t stop there: she volunteers one or two mornings a week in the gift store. She spends time chatting with family members, residents, and staff alike.

Wendy knows that philanthropy is also about building meaningful connections.

Philanthropy goes beyond writing a cheque. Yes, it’s about the impact of your donation for people who need it most. It’s also about relationships. When you give to support important programs and activities in Broadmead Care Homes, you’re building a connection with us. And, you’re helping people make connections with each other! Meaningful activities also bring a connection to people’s pasts — things they enjoyed doing in their younger days, or with their families.

Your kindness puts joy into action!
