Season of Giving is Here!

We’re inviting local businesses to join our Season of Giving campaign this year in support of our Meals on Wheels and Community Food Box programs.

There are two ways to make a difference:

Donate – A financial gift from the business could provide meals for those in need, or staff teams can fundraise together.

Donate & Volunteer – In addition to making a donation, teams could see firsthand the impact of this support by delivering meals or food boxes, or even writing personal notes to accompany deliveries.

For more information, please contact Tina Kessler, Fundraising Coordinator, at tkessler@communitycaredurham.on.ca or 905.430.0969.

Marian S. CCD Volunteer

Volunteering in my community was always on my to-do list and when I came across an advertisement 6 years ago, I signed up to help out in the Adult Day Program. Although I can often be found in the kitchen, I also have time to dance, sing and help out with games and activities. Volunteering has allowed me to meet new people who love to smile and socialize over a cup of tea.

Zarlaqsh S. CCD Staff

Working for CCD has provided me with so many opportunities to learn and excel in my professional career. The staff I get to work alongside, and the clients I have helped to serve in our community has been a very rewarding experience for me since my very first day. Over the years I’ve seen CCD continuously grow and expand to serve more and more individuals. We have remained resilient with the times and it feels great to be a part of an organization that looks collectively to its staff to help it evolve and strive higher.

Kathy D CCD Client

I so look forward to the Community Food Box. I am 93 years old and I live on my own and have not been off my property for groceries since February. The Community Food Box is my main means of getting the essentials I need. My children live a couple hours away so it also gives them peace of mind that I have groceries. I get a lot of the staples I need and love such as yogurt, milk and juice and nothing ever goes to waste.
