Operation Friendship Senior Society Presents a Dinner & Silent Auction

5:00pm Doors Open
6:00pm Dinner & Silent Auction

$50 per person | $400 for a table of 8

Objective: 

  • To raise $225,000 through our 2012 Capital Campaign – Going the Extra Mile with Operation Friendship Seniors Society. This Campaign would allow us to get four new vehicles for Operation Friendship Seniors Society. It is our goal to purchase:
  • Two new Helping Hands Vans, which would enable us to help maintain the independence of seniors in need by providing basic services, as time and space permit;
  • A Cube Van, that would be used daily for the pick up of food and donations;
  • A Passenger Bus which would allow our Recreation Coordinator to plan more outings for our seniors.

OFSS McCauley Seniors Drop-in Centre
At the heart of Operation Friendship Seniors Society is the McCauley Senior’s Drop-In Centre. Seniors find a safe gathering place where they can socialize, develop friendships, volunteer, and become part of the community. The Drop-In provides free nourishing meals, seven days a week. Last year, the drop-in centre served over 98, 900 meals to our seniors. The drop-in centre offers recreation and wellness activities that are planned in addition to the meal program. Recreation opportunities include fun & fitness, outings (ie. museums, fishing trips, sporting/cultural events), ceramics, entertainers, bingo, computer games, sing-alongs, swimming, pet visits, etc. All services and activities are offered to our seniors free of charge. The Drop-in Centre relies heavily on donations from partner organizations as well as the community to be able to provide the types of services we do, free of charge for our seniors.
