Supporting Seniors Is Our Mission

 Bridges of Love of York Region

WE HAVE PROVIDED SNOW REMOVAL/LAWN MAINTENANCE

SERVICES TO MORE THAN 100 SENIORS HOMES IN YORK REGION SINCE 2021 AND GROWING

Our goal is to support and empower seniors by addressing their unique needs and making a positive impact in their lives.

Bridges of Love, is a registered charity that offers yearly snow removal and lawn maintenance services, free of charge, to our vulnerable seniors, along with seniors home accessibility, in an effort to help them age in place. Seniors faced with health issues, physical and mental struggles, financial insecurities and other issues that limit their ability to cut their grass , remove their snow and that need home renovations in order for their homes to be accessible, can apply for our services.

At Bridges of Love, we understand the importance of combating social isolation among seniors. That's why we organize regular events and gatherings that bring seniors together, fostering connections and friendships. These events provide a vibrant and engaging environment where seniors can socialize, share experiences, and build meaningful relationships.

Furthermore, we recognize the importance of keeping seniors informed and educated. Our workshops cover a wide range of topics that are relevant and helpful to seniors, including health and wellness, technology, financial planning, and more. These workshops are led by knowledgeable professionals who are passionate about empowering seniors with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate various aspects of their lives.
