The facts are clear. Over 477,000 seniors live in Toronto. One in six live in poverty. And that number is doubled for seniors from minority backgrounds. That’s why our Independent Living and Seniors’ Services’ team is here.
Whether it’s delivering personal support services, improving food security through Meals on Wheels, providing easy access transportation, or offering day programs to improve mental and physical health, our goal is simple: to help seniors maintain their independence and quality of life. Our impact has been felt for over 50 years but we cannot do it alone. Donors are a critical reason for that impact, and the TNG Challenge is where they truly shine.
Held in June, the TNG Challenge is a yearly event where everyone is invited to join our Chinese Seniors group for Tai Chi, or participate individually for a walk, bike ride, yoga, or any activity that moves them. Donors sponsor Challenge participants or provide sponsorship. Congratulations to our top fundraisers this year, Bob and Mary Gore, and our top fundraising team, the Mighty Meals on Wheelers!
Thanks to the nearly 400 donors whose generosity and compassion helped raised more than $100,000 for vulnerable seniors!
