Community Companions Program
Building a Stronger Community
The Community Companions Program is designed to foster connections, whether through shared hobbies, meaningful Dhamma discussions, delightful meals, or the simple joy of spending quality time together. At We Care For You Charity, we recognize the importance of community support, and with our dedicated team of volunteers, we aim to provide friendly visits that bring comfort and companionship to our community.

Senior Home Visits - Bingo Nights!
The Senior Home Visits program is a volunteering initiative, part of our Community Companions Program, aimed at bringing joy and fostering a sense of community among seniors through bingo nights.
This year, we held five volunteer visits on July 7th, August 11th, October 13th, November 17th, and December 29th, with seven recurring volunteers. A total of 48 seniors were visited during these events. The bingo games offered a fun, interactive, and engaging activity that fostered a sense of belonging and togetherness. Each session created a friendly atmosphere where seniors could partake in enjoyable competition and enhance their social connections.
With around four volunteers at each event, we were able to connect with the seniors effectively, with two volunteers alternating in calling out numbers while the others assisted participants as needed. This ensured that everyone felt supported and included. These monthly bingo events allowed us to build meaningful relationships with the seniors. Through small yet heartfelt interactions, we created positive, memorable experiences for both the participants and volunteers.
This initiative also helps seniors cope with loneliness while raising awareness among young adults about the challenges faced by older generations, encouraging empathy and care for seniors. It strives to enrich lives and strengthen our community - one friendly visit at a time.
