Our BETTER AT HOME program is continuing to offer essential support to local seniors throughout the COVID-19 epidemic.

We will continue to provide drop off grocery service, snow removal and friendly phone calls/check-ins.

To protect the health and safety of all parties, these services will involve NO direct contact between seniors and our volunteers.

Our staff will be available via phone at 250-219-2119, Monday to Friday, 9-3 and we will respond to any messages left outside our operating hours as soon as we can.

We will also do our best to provide seniors with information and referrals they may require to meet any needs that extend beyond what we can offer through Better at Home at this time.

Be Safe and please reach out if you are in need of support.

A Big Thank You to Encana for donating $3,000 to Better at Home to go towards plowing driveways for seniors. Without the help of our generous community, we wouldn't be able to offer this vital service to our local seniors.
