As the holiday season approaches, charities like the Father Lacombe Care Foundation reach out for your philanthropic support. Philanthropy—the act of giving time, money, or resources to help others—is a powerful force for good in society. At Father Lacombe, your generosity has transformed our dining rooms into bright, cheerful spaces where residents can enjoy their meals. Your contributions have also provided new mattresses, ensuring our residents get a restful night’s sleep.

As the Philanthropy Leader here at Father Lacombe Foundation, I witness firsthand the profound impact of your generosity. Because it touches not only our residents and their families but the community at large. It doesn’t matter which organization you choose to support; what matters is that you pick one close to your heart. The most significant benefit of your philanthropy is its ability to empower communities. By funding education, healthcare, and infrastructure projects, philanthropists create opportunities for growth and development.

For instance, many people assume that all our needs at Father Lacombe are covered by government funding. While we are grateful for this support, it does not cover essential items like lifts and equipment that our residents need. This is where your philanthropic contributions make a critical difference.

Finally, philanthropy allows you to create a lasting legacy. By including a charity in your will, you ensure support for future generations of seniors. This legacy of giving can inspire future generations to continue the work, perpetuating a cycle of generosity and positive impact.

As we enter this season of giving, we warmly invite you to support our mission in any way that feels meaningful to you. Whether by sharing our social media posts, adding a comment on why our work is important to you, or making a donation, each gesture amplifies the impact of our mission. Your kindness and generosity allow us to provide essential equipment, enriching recreational programs, and crucial building improvements that make Father Lacombe feel like home.

These contributions go beyond enhancing the physical well-being of our residents—they bring comfort, joy, and a sense of community that nurture their hearts and souls.

Thank you for being such an integral part of our community. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those who need it most.
