Gardens on Tenth raised a record amount at their recent Soup & Pie fundraiser.
With the help of one extra substantial donation, they gleaned over $20,000 for the organization.
This means the board has raised about $455,000, or 90 per cent, of its $500,000 fundraising goal for The Manor renovation project that’s been underway since the start of 2023.
“We are very thankful for the generous support that we continue to receive from our community,” said chair John Falk.
The renovations and accessibility upgrades in The Manor are nearly done. Thirteen suites have been completed and all are already occupied. There are three more suites nearing completion, which will leave them with two suites to complete by August 2024.
“The Gardens on Tenth fundraised for the project in order to keep our housing affordable for seniors and we look forward to moving our Pathways Program into the Manor and continuing our mission to serve the evolving needs of seniors in our community through facilities, programs and services designed to address the physical, emotional social and spiritual needs of seniors,” said Falk.
“Tenants who have already moved from an older suite are very pleased with the newer updated look of the suites. But more importantly, they talk about the safety and accessibility provided with the widened doorways, walk-in showers and raised toilets. These changes are tailored to meet the needs of Seniors as they continue to age in place.”
The board is also happy to announce that these suites will be opening to community members on their waitlist who have been waiting to move into The Manor.
“And most of all, we are looking forward to completing the project and enhancing the services we can provide for seniors in our community and area,” Falk said.
Donations to the project are still being accepted.
