Join Us in Making a Difference for Seniors in Saskatoon! At Saskatoon Services for Seniors, we are committed to helping seniors maintain their independence by safely staying in their own homes. As the summer season arrives, we are excited to launch our highly sought-after Yard Work and Gardening programs. If you enjoy working outdoors and want to make a positive impact, we invite you to volunteer your time. By doing so, you’ll assist seniors in our community in keeping their yards and gardens looking beautiful. Together, let’s create a vibrant and supportive environment for our beloved seniors.

All support is extremely valuable, be it donations, volunteer time or simply word-of-mouth. It is the people of Saskatoon that enable us to continue helping the city’s venerable population. Your generous donations help us progress our services while playing a vital role in keeping seniors independent. Every dollar of support stays right here in Saskatoon. We have many lower-income seniors that need our services, and the generosity of your support allows us to be able to assist them. Donations of $20 or over will get a tax receipt. We graciously accept cheques, cash, or e-transfer.

Researchers have found that loneliness is just as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes per day. Many Canadians may not be aware of the connection between loneliness and poor nutrition and the other serious health implications. With concerns around food security and affordability also being top of mind in Canada, we know our senior population is at a higher risk for both. As an organization dedicated to caring for older adults, Home Instead is urging Canadians to join the effort in ensuring our senior loved ones are getting the care and nutrition they need and helping to end loneliness among older adults.

Don’t let the hassle of grocery shopping weigh you down. Join our grocery program and leave the heavy lifting to us. Simply phone or e-mail us on Monday with your detailed shopping list and preferred store, and we’ll handle the rest. Our dedicated volunteers will purchase the items you need, including non-food items like yarn or cutlery, and deliver them to your doorstep. Whether it’s a one-time order or a regular service, we’ve got you covered. Limited slots are available, so reach out to us for more information and enjoy the convenience of stress-free grocery shopping.

We’ve all been there—buying bulk liquid broth on a super sale only to realize it expires in just a couple of days. But fear not! Instead of making a colossal amount of soup or engaging in a messy water balloon battle, freeze that broth for later use. However, a word of caution: don’t freeze it directly in the cartons. Liquid expands when frozen, leading to bursts. Plus, the wax lining may affect the taste. Pour the broth into freezer-safe containers, filling them ¾ full, and enjoy 2-3 months of flavorful broth to elevate your culinary adventures. Stay tuned for next month’s revelation about the delightful world of wontons!
