- Nutritious Chinese Meals – Freshly prepared meals tailored to the dietary preferences of Chinese seniors.
- Wellness and Health Workshops – Sessions on nutrition, exercise, mental health, and chronic disease prevention.
- Social and Recreational Activities – Cultural events, arts and crafts, calligraphy, music, and storytelling to foster engagement and mental stimulation.
- Technology and Digital Literacy Support – Helping seniors navigate smartphones, computers, and online communication tools to stay connected with loved ones.
- Legal and Financial Assistance – Information sessions on seniors’ benefits, housing, wills, and financial planning.
- Companionship and Mental Health Support – Volunteer-led visits, group discussions, and mindfulness programs to combat loneliness and depression.

- Individuals and Donors – Financial contributions help fund food, activities, and essential services.
- Businesses and Organizations – Donations of food, supplies, and services (such as medical consultations, financial advice, and wellness programs) are greatly needed.
- Volunteers – Help is needed in cooking, serving meals, organizing events, and assisting seniors with activities.
- Government Agencies – Support from municipal, provincial, and federal programs can expand services and provide long-term sustainability.
