This is Eryn - For Eryn Morgan, Carefor isn’t just a workplace; it’s home. As the Program Coordinator at Carefor’s North-Stor Centre in Finch, Eryn grew up surrounded by the people and values that shape her work today.

“I was four years old helping at volunteer events when my mom worked here,” Eryn says. “It’s like having a whole bunch of grandparents.”

Now she’s helping seniors stay connected through activities, meals, and programs that keep their worlds from shrinking. From yoga and bingo to friendly phone calls and drive-through diners started during COVID, Eryn and her team make sure no one feels alone.

“It really is a family,” she says. “You get to see the difference you make every day.”
