2024 Bright Futures Campaign
It’s not easy growing old. Our elderly parents, friends and colleagues deserve the care and comfort to lead a healthy life while living at home, without worries and anxiety. With you, the ASK Friendship Society provides Bright Futures for our parents, grandparents and our aging friends.
We also provide the time and space for respite for hardworking, compassionate caregivers, knowing their loved ones are safe and engaged with a social network
It costs just over $26,000 per year, per client. With your generosity, you are helping to create a nurturing environment where our older adults can thrive in our community.
Your generosity ensures their days are bright, that they have a sense of belonging and that they are socially engaged with a community of older adults.
Donate NOW to our Bright Futures campaign.
What Your Donations Do
In recent years, we have noticed a significant uptick in the demand for our services and have had to maintain a waiting list. We know first-hand what a strain this puts on the families on that list. We have therefore developed a Strategic Plan to open more centres and expand our capacity by more than 150% over the next 3 years.
Your donations help us to equip those centres. They also help us to expand our program offerings to include virtual services, caregiver support, and outreach initiatives to the broader older adult support community to build awareness of Adult Day Programs and the vital role they can play in the care continuum.
