SANTA 4 SENIORS 2022
2022 marks the 6th annual Santa 4 Seniors fundraising initiative! With your help, The Good Companions raises funds to purchase and deliver gifts for seniors who are isolated and alone, and may not otherwise receive a gift this holiday season. Many seniors feel increasingly isolated due to the ongoing impacts of the pandemic. Together, over the last 5 years, we have gifted 1600 presents and we are back again this year (a year where the need has never been greater) to spread Christmas cheer!
We wish to thank everyone who attended our sold out Pub Night Fundraiser on November 24th!
Our volunteers are currently packaging gifts for our selected 350 recipients, and our volunteer elves will begin delivering the gifts to seniors in our community as early as next Monday, December 19th.

Please note that should Public Health advise that changes are required then we will return to masking. Some staff, volunteers and members may continue to wear a mask and we will support you.
