GENERATIONS PROGRAM
**We are accepting NEW SENIOR MEMBERS at this time.**
Services currently offered to seniors (55+) in our area:
Our Program Coordinator is continuing to match volunteers with seniors whenever possible, so that the person calling or delivery groceries each week is the same- a familiar voice and/or friendly smile, even at an appropriate social distance, is comforting during this uncertain time. These interpersonal connections continue to make our services special and unique.
Seniors in need of services, or someone on their behalf, can reach us at outreach@yellowdoor.org or 514-845-2600 x2. Please leave a clear message with your name and phone number and we will call you back.

We acknowledge that The Yellow Door is situated on unceded Indigenous land, as it was taken without treaty or agreement. We recognize the Kanien’keha:ka Nation as the custodians of Tiohtia:ke (Montreal), a traditional meeting place with other Iroquoians and Algonquians, including the Algonquin-Anishinaabe, Atikamekw and the Huron-Wendat. We stand in solidarity and in action in supporting the journey towards reconciliation.
