United Way for the City of Kawartha Lakes
Community Care is a proud member agency of the United Way. Annual funding from the United Way helps support our Elder Abuse education, Meals on Wheels, the Falls Prevention Program, Specialized Transportation and wellness programs such as A Time for Me and the Stroke Survivor Support Groups
Fee for Service
Community Care charges fees for a number of the supports provided to help defray costs of service delivery and program materials. See our Services for Seniors and People with Special Needs for rates and further information.

Donors can support the agency by taking part in special fundraising events, or donating to the agency in many different ways.
