Giving Back
At Extendicare, we believe in giving back and creating meaningful, positive change in the communities we serve. Our contributions, leadership and volunteer efforts help create stronger, healthier places to live and work.
Each year, our employees dedicate countless hours to raise money and provide support for a variety of charitable organizations. Through walks, runs, bake sales, special events and much more, they demonstrate their commitment to helping people live better.
As an organization we are also committed to supporting our communities through donations, sponsorships, dedicated bursaries and scholarships, research partnerships and more. We donate to a wide variety of organizations including those focused on health and human services, education, research, disease prevention and treatment, as well as programs for seniors and children.
