ODBF ANNOUNCES DONATION OF $5,000 TO CAREFOR HEALTH AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
“COVID-19 affects us all, but none more than the vulnerable elderly,” said Carefor Health & Community Services CEO Steve Perry. “These are the people Carefor supports, in their homes and in the community. Donations are essential in ensuring our frontline staff have the equipment and technology they need to keep people safe, connected and out of hospital.”
Carefor has more than 1300 staff working to provide exceptional support, and specialized treatment programs for the community. With flexible treatment plans, clients are able to receive care from the comfort of their own home, in a community setting, or retirement residence.
This donation will contribute to purchasing personal protective equipment and other resources for frontline staff. This will ensure that staff are able to continue their commitment of providing exceptional care for the members of their community during the COVID-19 crisis.
Further donations can be made by visiting ODBF.CA or by texting ODBF to (613)-703-5852.
