Yet Keen
Seniors’ Day Centre has serviced the Ottawa region for over 30 years. For many
Chinese seniors - especially those who lack English language skills - Yet Keen
is an indispensible aspect of their daily lives. Yet Keen is a hub that
provides seniors with social engagement, community updates, new relationships,
and daily support to promote their physical and mental wellbeing.
Yet keen
believes that personal finances should not be a barrier to accessing services.
Therefore, we collect only a symbolic membership fee while providing a wide
range of services. As government funding only covers a portion of Yet Keen’s expenses, the
Centre also relies on the support from various sources of societal funding and
community donations. Despite the challenges, we maintain a high standard of service through the commitment of our team, and
establish a solid reputation within the community.
This year,
Yet Keen faces unprecedented financial challenges, and calls for additional
fundraising opportunities for financial support. Your donation, irrespective of
value, will be greatly appreciated. By
making a donation, you are helping:
|

healthier lives;
