"It Takes a Village" Capital Campaign: Supporting Seniors in Delta Through KinVillage's Day Program for Older Adults
At KinVillage, we believe in the power of community to uplift and support its members, especially our seniors. We are raising $3 million for a new space for the Day Program for Older Adults (DPOA).
This new facility will allow us to provide more seniors with the care, activities, and social engagement they need, while also offering much-needed respite for caregivers, giving them time to recharge and focus on their well-being. Your support is crucial to making this vision a reality, ensuring that seniors in Delta can thrive in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Together, we can build a brighter future for our community's older adults. Thank you for being part of this important journey!
Our Goal
We need your help to raise $3 million for a new space for our Day Program for Older Adults. We are currently at full capacity, and this new space will allow us to accommodate more seniors in our community, supporting their dignity, needs, and independence.
By giving older adults and caregivers the support to live at home longer, we can help enhance their quality of life and provide much-needed respite for caregivers, allowing them time to recharge and focus on their well-being.
What Is A Day Program?
Our Day Program helps older adults with health challenges continue to live at home by supporting physical functioning, cognitive functioning, health monitoring, and caregiver well being.
Participants usually visit 1-3 days per week where they can enjoy a variety of support and services. This vital support helps individuals remain in their own homes as long as possible.
The Need Is Growing
As the aging population grows in Delta, the waitlist for our program continues to increase as well.
Limited equipment, staffing, and space means our program can currently accommodate only 11 adults each day.
Overcoming these challenges would increase our capacity and dramatically shorten wait times.
