Operation Friendship Seniors Society (OFSS)We know the effects of isolation and loneliness have been significant during the pandemic and we want our seniors to know we care, and we are thinking of them. Our mission is to bring more holiday cheer to seniors, in all the communities we serve through the #stockingstuffersforseniors campaign! 🎁🎄
Visit your local London Drugs store, and head over to the store’s Christmas Tree for a Stocking Stuffers for Seniors gift tag. Each tag contains a wish list from a local senior, or a general “wish list” from a participating local care home or charitable partner organization.

Kin Canada Bursaries is a program of the Hal Rogers Endowment Fund. $1,000 bursaries are awarded to Canadian students from coast-to-coast who are pursuing post-secondary education. Here is a letter we received:
Dear Kinette Club of Edmonton, and Kin Canada,
I can’t emphasize enough how grateful I am to have been awarded this grant. Financial support
like this is what makes it possible for me to continue my post-secondary education, and
generosity like yours is what has given me that opportunity.
I am entering into my second year of Computer Software Engineering, a program that comes
with a heavy course load and a competitive group of other students. As a result, I have found that
much of my time must be dedicated to coursework and study. Following that, I have had to scale
back working hours and be diligent about how I use my time. This grant has alleviated some of
the intense financial burden of post-secondary education — allowing me to continue to pursue
volunteer work, and charitable actions alongside my schooling in a way that would have
otherwise been impossible.
Moving forward I intend to take full advantage of this opportunity I have been given, prioritizing
learning and my studies. Meanwhile I intend to continue to give back to my community via
volunteer and charitable work. Through my career I hope to one day be in a position to give back
more, and to possibly even provide this type of support to the next generation.
Thank you again for your time and support.
Sincerely,
Ethan Franz
