A 24-hour giving campaign benefiting Okanagan aging seniors kicks off Monday night at 10 p.m.

"The past couple years have been difficult for nearly everyone, but it’s been devastating for aging adults. Many have endured extreme isolation, loved ones passing and worry over their future," said the Seniors Outreach and Resource Centre in a press release.

The centre says it is committed to helping aging adults stay healthy, connected, and engaged with their peers and community through our programs and services.

“Housing and food affordability are becoming very challenging for many seniors. That’s why we’re participating in #GivingTuesday,” said Vi Sorenson, the executive director of Seniors Outreach.

The 24-hour #GivingTuesday campaign starts November 29 at 10 p.m. and concludes at 10 p.m. on November 30.

“We know the value our programs and services bring to our aging adult clients and the community that we serve,” said Sorenson “The need to support our organization is greater than ever, and through matching grants from Home Instead Charities, donations have the chance to be doubled up to $5,000 during the 24 hour campaign period.
