Navigating the cold and snowy weather can pose challenges for shopping outings. For the convenience of our members, we offer a service where you can simply phone or email us with a detailed shopping list, and we will handle the rest. Our team will go to the store to shop on your behalf and then deliver the groceries directly to your home. Whether you need this service frequently or just one time you can place orders as needed. Order requests are accepted on Mondays and Tuesdays, with deliveries scheduled throughout the remainder of the week. Given the limited availability of spots each week (highlighting the significance of our dedicated volunteers), we encourage you to reach out for more information or to place your order. Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities.

We are continually seeking volunteers to assist seniors and individuals with disabilities in our community. If you have a passion for giving back and can spare a few hours, please consider reaching out to our office to inquire about volunteering opportunities. We offer a diverse range of programs, including housekeeping, gardening, snow removal, grocery shopping, handyman services, and yard work. If you are interested in contributing to any of these initiatives, we invite you to contact us for more information. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve.

Now, more than ever, your support is of immense value. It propels the advancement of our services, playing a crucial role in maintaining seniors’ independence. The contributions from our generous supporters not only supplement costs for low-income seniors in the community but also fund essential programs like our free tax assistance program for any senior. Every dollar of support remains within Saskatoon, directly impacting the lives of our community’s lower-income seniors. Your generosity enables us to extend vital assistance to those in need. For those willing to contribute, please refer to our contact information at the end of this article to make a positive impact on the lives of our seniors today.

Saskatoon Service for Seniors wishes to expresses heartfelt gratitude to our clients, volunteers, and generous donors for their support over the past year. With the backing of our community, we have been able to deliver essential services to those in need. As the holiday season approaches, we extend warm wishes for joy and fulfillment to all.

This holiday season, may we all find time to celebrate with those we love and reflect upon the many blessings we enjoy here in Saskatchewan. May this Christmas season fill your heart with love, your home with joy, and your life with laughter. From my family to yours, wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

The holidays can be a particularly painful time as the whole world seems to send the message that you must be full of joy. But without your loved one by your side, how can you celebrate? A few ideas: Keep Some Old Traditions, Combine New Elements with Old Traditions, Attend a Remembrance Service & Develop New Traditions. While the holidays can be lonely, you don’t have to feel alone. Take it one day at a time. Focus on understanding what your needs are and meeting them. Hold your memories of loved ones close, and connect with other people during these cold winter days. There will be opportunities to make the holidays meaningful if you have your heart courageously open to it.
