Community Impact Program (CIP)

The Community Impact Program is a significant 2-year project chosen by the club membership that addresses specific needs of the community.  

​

Our current CIP is to Support Harbour Lights CHEER Center.

 

Harbour Lights CHEER Center is a hub for senior activities and services that include meal services, in home services, transportation, and an adult day program. It is open to individuals 50 and older.

 

We recognize the need to support and engage with the elderly population, a vital and often underserved demographic.  By increased social engagement we will help seniors combat social isolation which will improve emotional and mental well-being and enhance the quality of their life.  We will also strengthen ties between seniors and the wider community which fosters mutual understanding and intergenerational respect.

 

These are some of the activities that we will engage in:

• Greeting members

• Serving lunches and calling bingo

• Celebrating birthdays

• Assist with craft activities

• Preserving seniors’ valuable life experiences and creating connections through storytelling and oral history sessions

• Planning intergenerational events to connect seniors with youth

​

This project represents a meaningful investment in our elderly community at Harbour Lights Cheer Center. Through thoughtful planning and our collaborative efforts, this initiative will address critical needs while fostering a stronger, more inclusive community.
