Supporting Connection and Community

By supporting programs like the Welcome Inn Community Centre’s Seniors Diners Club and Community Visitation Program, Shannex helps enable meaningful connections that reduce loneliness and enhance overall wellbeing for older adults.

Each week, 60 older adults gather for warm meals and meaningful connection, while volunteers visit those who are isolated, offering companionship and care. One beautiful example is Doug and Al.

Long-time Diners Club members, their bond began when Al, a volunteer, started visiting Doug during a difficult time. Their friendship has grown into something remarkable, filled with hospital visits, shared challenges, and even furniture shopping adventures. Stories like Doug and Al’s show the true power of community and we’re honoured to help make them possible.
