Happy to Help Seniors
Langley Care Foundation was delighted to receive a $5,000 donation from Rotary Club of Langley Sunrise. The club voted unanimously to support the charity.
Langley Care Foundation raises funds for the mission of Langley Lodge which is to improve and enhance quality of life of the elderly and people with disabilities.
“As we reviewed the information from Langley Care Foundation, it was clear to us that the funds would be put to good use for the benefit of the community,” explained Jeff Morfitt, President of Rotary Club of Langley Sunrise. “Langley Lodge has provided excellent care for many years and we are glad to help this wonderful not-for-profit organization.”
Terry Metcalfe, Langley Care Foundation President was ecstatic with the generosity of the service club. “Rotary Club of Langley Sunrise has become a good friend to Langley Lodge. This relationship has benefitted residents and is appreciated.”
Langley Lodge was modernized with the completion of its construction and renovation project last year. The $28 million capital initiative was not funded by Fraser Health. The charity is responsible for the mortgage.
Rotary Club of Langley Sunrise recognizes that Langley Lodge is managing a difficult financial environment. “Our club understands that Langley Lodge residents are on limited incomes,” continued Mr. Morfitt. “We realize that the healthcare system has constraints.”
Fundraising is necessary for Langley Lodge to continue augmenting the therapies, programs and activities offered to residents,” commented Patrick Matiowski, Director of Fundraising for Langley Care Foundation. “We are committed to enhancing quality of life for the people that make Langley Lodge their home. To accomplish this, we turn to the community for help. The Rotary Club of Langley Sunrise heard our plea and was attentive to the needs of Langley seniors.”
