Amica Helping Hands Charity
Helping all seniors thrive
Established in 2003, the Amica Helping Hands Charity (AHHC) supports Canadian seniors living in vulnerable conditions. Throughout the year, our residents and team members donate their time and talents into fundraising initiatives supporting the health and quality of life for at-risk seniors.
The charity also partners with local organizations and receives corporate sponsorship to assist seniors living in poverty and isolation.
Below, Derek Coss, our CDO and Chair of AHHC, discusses where donations go and how every dollar makes a difference.
Baskets of support
Come the holidays each year, Amica residents and team members fill baskets with non-perishable foods, gift certificates for local pharmacies, hand-knit items created by the residents and more. These baskets may be the only gifts low-income seniors receive all year.
We greatly appreciate all contributions that go toward our holiday basket campaign and our other initiatives.
Join us at our 2023 Inspiring Conversations Gala
On November 9, we will come together again in shared purpose to enjoy an evening of connection with inspirational speakers, auctions and so much more. It's all in support of making a difference for Canadian seniors living in vulnerable conditions.
Supporting not-for-profits
We also provide funds to not-for-profit organizations across Canada, such as seniors’ and healthcare organizations. If your organization supports vulnerable seniors, please contact us to discuss how we can help provide support.
