Events

We are very excited to once again bring some holiday cheer to people living in non-profit long-term care homes, vulnerable seniors transitioning to long-term care, seniors receiving home care support and to elderly patients in the hospital.

Stockings for Seniors is an initiative led by Baker & Associates Private Wealth Management in partnership with the Comox Valley Healthcare Foundation. Thanks to IG Wealth Management – Greater Vancouver Island, Conconi Family Foundation, Soap For Hope Canada, Quantum Dental, AFC Construction, Nicole Cahoon – CPA,  Uptown Yarns, Costco, Ace Brewery, Andrea Davis – Royal LePage, and Cumberland Community School many wish list items have already been ticked off the list but a few remain and we would like your help to continue this showing of love and support.

The goal is to fill stockings for 150 seniors who don’t have family nearby during the holidays nor the means for special extras. The following items are required (items crossed out have been acquired thanks to tremendous support from community):

• New or gently-used Christmas stockings
• Non-slip socks
• Large-print word puzzle books and pencils
• Playing cards
• 2025 mini calendars
• Small notebooks/journals
• Soft chocolates
• Diabetic-friendly treats
• Mugs and sachets of hot chocolate or tea
• Shortbread cookies (small boxes)
• Nail polish, hair ties, hair clips
• Wool for knitting
• Kleenex (small pkg)
• Mini plush stuffed animals (max 6 inches)
• Ball caps
• Scarves
• Knit lap blankets
• Helpful items like jar openers, gopher grabbers, magnifying glasses and hand exercise balls

Items can be dropped off at the IG Wealth Management office (22 – 1599 Cliffe Avenue, Courtenay) Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm until the end of the day on Thursday, December 12th.
