The mission of the Cummings Jewish Centre for Seniors Foundation is to provide the financial resources necessary to enrich the quality of life of seniors by supporting projects and activities that promote excellence in healthy aging. Funds raised also improve the autonomy of seniors by ensuring the development and continuation of preventative programs and support Services.
Today, the demands on your generosity and appeals for help have multiplied a thousand-fold, and you have to make difficult decisions about who to help and how to do it.
It’s not easy.
So when the Cummings Jewish Centre for Seniors Foundation asks you for your support, why should you say yes?
A gift to the Foundation is a tremendous investment that will have a real impact on improving the lives of Jewish seniors.
As a people, our desire to help others – and most particularly our elders – is learned at our parents’ knee. This tradition of philanthropy and our compassion for others keeps our community strong and vibrant.
Your gift is the key to providing our growing population of seniors with programs and services that are affordable and accessible to all.
Less than 50% of our funding comes from Federation CJA. Your gift helps to fill this critical shortfall.
As a result of your generosity, our seniors receive the support services they may require to continue to live independently, and the opportunity to enjoy the Centre’s many programs and services.
It’s hard to believe – but 1 in 5 Montreal Jewish seniors lives below the poverty line.
Our presence in their lives is crucial to their well-being.
The Cummings Jewish Centre for Seniors is a shining example of what is possible when an entire community is involved in the support of a much-needed organization.
Every day, over 800 seniors visit our Centre to take advantage of its many facilities, and while there, experience the fellowship and support that is the hallmark of our Centre. We provide a means for seniors to enjoy life to the fullest in a caring atmosphere of love and learning.
Every dollar makes a difference!
