Help us Care for Seniors with Melanie

Melanie is Walking for her Friends

Melanie Freeman has a big heart.

She also likes to walk. And she loves living at Carefor Civic Complex. She’s brought these three things together for a new campaign: Care for Seniors with Melanie.

Between now and the end of 2025, Melanie will be walking to raise money to support her friends living at Civic Complex and Mackay Centre retirement homes in Pembroke. The money she raises will be used for Carefor to purchase such things as pet therapy, swimming, a keyboard, art supplies, performer fees, transportation to medical appointments, painting parties and much more.

Help us keep costs low

As not-for-profit retirement homes, Carefor Civic and Mackay do everything they can to keep the cost of accommodation low so that seniors on fixed incomes have a place they can afford. As a charity, Carefor is grateful to have the support of the community to cover the cost of things like recreation programming and events, which give our seniors the retirement they deserve. With your help we can keep our homes affordable for local seniors!

Knowing what Carefor retirement homes have meant to her friends, Melanie is taking it upon herself to hit the pavement to raise money to make the Holiday season brighter for them.

To help Melanie reach her target of $12,000, donate to www.carefor.ca/donate-pembroke
