About F.J. Davey Home Foundation
When we see a resident singing, tapping their feet or swaying to the music, we're inspired to do more. Though the purchase of essential medical equipment and funding of programs, the Foundation strives to enhance the quality of life for the residents of the F. J. Davey Home. With the support of the community we've been able to purchase new beds, mobile lifts, and a new bathing unit, but our mission never ends.
Help your loved ones, neighbours, or friends by joining in the Grand Parade. Be a captain, form a team, reach out to families and friends and raise money to support the residents of the F. J. Davey Home! Become a part of the Grand Parade today!
