CELEBRATING 50 Years of the Generations Program
In 1972, a group of students led by the YD set out to assist senior's living in downtown Montreal. Five decades later, we are continuing their legacy through our Generations Program. During the month of May, we need YOU to DONATE to help ensure our home-based services to isolated seniors remain free and accessible to all!
We encourage you to read more about our Generations Program, including friendly visits, calls, tech help, errands, and accompaniments, as well as our Cultural Roulant, which serves the most vulnerable seniors. Your donation will also support our newest initiative, Pet Therapy, which can help ease anxiety, pain, fatigue and stress in participants. Through these various services we aim to reduce isolation and loneliness, promote autonomy, and bring joy to the lives of our senior members.

"it is important to have programs like these because they provide a sense of community to those who have no loved ones around. it reassures seniors and volunteers that there is always someone to turn to.”
