Shannex Cares | Supporting Elder Allies

Great People Give Donations

Rick Gallant, Salisbury Helping Hands volunteer; Colleen Gagnon, Health Services Manager, Monarch Hall; Jennifer Woodhouse, Recreation Director, Monarch Hall; and Laurie Stewart, President, Salisbury Helping Hands Inc. Inspired by our Great People our Shannex Cares community program helps create visible and meaningful opportunities for elders to be seen, heard and valued for their wisdom and talents. Four times per year, we ask our Great People to nominate and vote for organizations or groups that are doing great work supporting seniors and making a difference in the community. One organization in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario each received a Great People Give donation of $1,000. Here are the latest recipients of our Great People Give donations:

• Nova Scotia: Colchester East Hants Hospice Society
• New Brunswick: Salisbury Helping Hands Inc
• Ontario: Ajax Seniors Club

Community Spirit Grants

Community Spirit Grants support elder allies in the community. Twice per year, we invite organizations supporting seniors to apply for the grants. We are accepting applications until July 15 and look forward to helping more elder allies support seniors in our communities.
