Volunteer Director for Senior Secret Service

Description of Charity/Foundation:

Since 1985, Senior Secret Service Mission has been to enhance the quality of life for individuals 60 years or older who are alone or isolated in the community.
Throughout our history we have found a community of individuals and corporations across Alberta that shares our passion, and who continue to anonymously provide personalized Birthday and Christmas gifts for our seniors. These donors and volunteers are the backbone of our organization and truly make our work possible.
We have strong relationships with seniors’ groups, housing facilities, outreach programs and health care providers. They provide us with the names of seniors they have identified who would benefit from this program.
The Christmas Cheer program was the first program founded by Seniors Secret Service. This program was built to give back to isolated seniors in our community by donating personalized gifts to individual seniors from their own personal Secret Santa.
The Birthday Cheer program recognizes isolated seniors on their special day. Seniors receive a handmade birthday card as well as a gift bag filled with toiletry items.
The Emergency Care Program supports seniors, who have arrived in hospitals or long-term care facilities with nothing but the clothes on their backs, by providing them with the basic essentials of life – socks, undergarments, pants and tops.
