Chats Recipient Of Vince’s Market Community Product Initiative

Vince’s Market is also pleased to announce the 2023 recipient of our Community Product Initiative: CHATS – Community & Home Assistance to Seniors.

Vince’s takes very seriously the challenges faced by our older residents, and CHATS, a not-for-profit organization, is committed to advocating for and delivering high quality, person-centred home and community services to older adults and caregivers living in York Region and South Simcoe.

“CHATS is thrilled to have been selected as the Vince’s Market Community Product Initiative recipient for 2023,” said CHATS CEO Christina Bisanz. “The pandemic has heightened and escalated social isolation, and challenges with food and housing security for our regions’ most vulnerable seniors and their family caregivers.”

Organizations like CHATS have been stretched with increased demands for services and supports, both directly and from our partners in health and social care. When hospitals and long-term care institutions needed to keep seniors in their homes, we found ways to continue to support them in their communities, keeping them engaged and keeping then safe.

We are grateful that Vince’s has recognized the importance of investing and contributing to CHATS, and recognizing that people want to stay in their own homes and communities. The funding we receive from this program will ensure that no senior gets left behind.”

“Vince’s is excited to partner with the CHATS organization this year,” added Maria Ciarlandini, Vince’s Community Ambassador. “As we roll into our sixth year of the initiative, we welcome CHATS and look forward to bringing awareness of their programs and events that support seniors in our communities.”
