Thanks to a Government of Canada grant from TakingITGlobal’s Sprout Ideas Fellowship, and a donation of backpacks from my family, we were able to put together 60 care packages for individuals experiencing homelessness in Windsor.

Each care package included down gloves, hand warmer, snacks and essential hygiene products. We dropped the care packages off at Street Help this weekend for their team to distribute. Street Help serves over 400 meals to individuals experiencing homelessness every day. They are a high-impact charity, and a true force for good in the Windsor community.

A huge thank you to my family and boyfriend for all of the hours they put into helping with shopping, packing, and delivering these care packages.

These gorgeous Christmas cards were created by Windsor-Essex school children. We dropped them off just before Christmas at some local seniors homes. A huge thank you to Lisa for organizing the card making activity. Always appreciated!

About the Stay Gold Society

The Stay Gold Society is a Windsor-Essex based organization on a mission to bring joy to the elderly by distributing handmade cards and gifts, as well as visiting long-term care homes.

There is an epidemic of loneliness among our elderly. Our seniors are spending what are supposed to be their golden years in long-term care homes with little or no connection to the outside world. Many leave their rooms for only meals and medical appointments.

Many have little family left, or have families who live hours away and don’t visit often. The seniors who move into long-term care facilities have to leave their homes, beloved pets and close friends.

We often forget that seniors are a vibrant, valuable part of our communities with so much knowledge that can be shared with others.
