Because We Care

At Community Care Peterborough, caring is more than what we do — it’s who we are.

Every ride, every meal, every friendly visit begins with someone who chooses to show up because they care.

This year’s Annual Appeal is inspired by Patty Tipton, a familiar face to many. Patty first joined our team years ago, continued to volunteer after retiring, and recently returned to staff when the need arose. Her story reflects what makes Community Care special: neighbours helping neighbours, time and again.

The Heart of Our Work

Across the City and County of Peterborough, we help older adults and adults living with disabilities stay healthy, connected, and independent at home.

Your generosity fuels a network of staff and volunteers who:

• Deliver hot, nutritious meals and friendly smiles
• Provide safe, reliable transportation to medical appointments
• Offer wellness and exercise programs that build strength and confidence
• Check in with neighbours who might otherwise be alone

When you give, you make care possible — in every community we serve.

Why Your Gift Matters

More people than ever are reaching out for support. Rising costs for food, fuel, and supplies have made it harder for us to keep pace with growing demand.

Your donation helps ensure we can continue to respond quickly and compassionately — providing the care people count on, when they need it most.

Every dollar you give stays right here in our community.

Because You Care

This holiday season, join Patty — and hundreds of volunteers, donors, and friends — in showing that Because We Care isn’t just a theme. It’s the spirit that connects us all.
