Every year, Seasons Retirement Communities in Ontario and Alberta come together to make a positive impact in the communities in which they operate.
From July 3 to 14, Seasons Cambridge hosted its annual One Can Make a Difference company-wide challenge to collect the most canned and non-perishable food items for their local food bank.
This year, Seasons Retirement Communities across Canada raised more than 6,300 cans in addition to donating a combined total of $42,000 to Food Banks Canada, a charitable organization representing the food bank community across Canada.
“The Seasons’ One ‘Can’ Corporate Challenge reinforces our commitment to supporting seniors in our communities given that food insecurity remains a prevalent problem among older adults,” says Stephanie Carter, General Manager at Seasons Retirement Communities in Cambridge. “It is of utmost importance to contribute to the communities our residents and team members call home.”
The top three Seasons Retirement Communities donors were Seasons Clarington with 1,400 cans, Seasons Strathroy with 714 cans, and Seasons Olds and Olds Encore with 697 cans.
Notably, all homes collected a total of 875 more cans this year compared to 2022.
Since 2016, Seasons Retirement Communities has partnered with Food Banks Canada for its corporate giving initiatives. To date, Seasons has donated more than $262,000 in funds and collected over 17,500 cans in the last three years, for local food banks. Seasons is proud to do its part to support local communities in which it operates, especially during this time of great need.
