KINDNESS PROJECT

Be a Santa to a Senior - 13th Annual 2024

“The Kindness Project” recognizes Older Adults ALL YEAR LONG

Sponsored by West Parry Sound District Community Support Services (CSS).

About

Being a Santa to an older person is more critical than ever. Due to rising costs, income that does not keep up and continued isolation and loneliness, many face hardship all year. Older people need you to focus on their wellness and happiness more than ever.  

​

Through the Kindness Project, you can help by:

  • Give the gift of your time.  Agree to spend an hour or two a month visiting with a CSS senior.  Play a game, walk or chat and enjoy a coffee together.

  • Make a financial donation online by sending an e-transfer to finance@csswest.ca. When doing the e-transfer, please use the message box to inform us that this is a donation and to which address we can send a charitable receipt.

  • Mail or drop off cash, cheque or gift cards to our office at your convenience Monday to Friday

  • Call our office if you need more details at 705-746-5602

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we acknowledge and are grateful to live, work, and play in the traditional and unceded territories covering all this land of West Parry Sound District that First Nations and Indigenous people call home. CSS is committed to opening up mindful spaces for dialogue, discussion, unlearning and learning with each other and everyone we work with.  Carried out with intention, we work as individuals to develop routines personally and professionally to make anti-racist and anti-oppression choices a daily commitment.We recognize that as we learn, we will misstep.  We own these mistakes and take responsibility for them in ways that support growth. CSS is committed to action and justice, and as a shared endeavour, we aim to create a healthier, equitable, and just future.
