Can we count on your support this year?
It’s that time of year when gifts are on people’s minds. And while we’re thinking about holiday gifts and gatherings, it’s also a wonderful time to express gratitude for the gifts life has given us, like family, friends and this community we call home. This season, we hope you’ll consider a gift to Greenwoods’ Annual Appeal, to help us continue to serve the needs of our Salt Spring elder community next year, right here on the island.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’re able to continually enhance the care, comforts and quality of life for our residents at Greenwoods and Braehaven. This past year, donated funds enabled us to upgrade the air handling unit at Braehaven and undertake essential roof repairs at Greenwoods. But there’s more to do and we need your help.
Where do Greenwoods donations go?
Greenwoods Eldercare is a community-based, not-for-profit society that owns and manages the Greenwoods Long-Term Care and Braehaven Assisted Living facilities, as well as providing community services such as Meals-on-Wheels, Respite Care, and an Adult Day Program. We depend on community donations to complement our basic operational funding as an Island Health affiliate.
Community donations are used in a variety of ways that add to the quality of life for Greenwoods and Braehaven residents.
Funds are dedicated to Facilities Renewal to maintain and improve our buildings; Furnishings and Equipment to upgrade our systems and amenities; Resident Comforts to enhance the caring home environment residents deserve; and Education to fund continual professional development for staff, who dedicate themselves to the health and well-being of residents.
Please consider donating close to home this year by supporting one of these Funds with your gift to our Annual Appeal. Untargeted donations are, of course, also welcome.
