A handwritten note can brighten a senior’s day and help them feel connected and valued.
Sincerely, Leduc is an anonymous letter-writing initiative that invites residents to connect with our community’s seniors. By taking a few moments to write a letter or draw a picture, you can help reduce social isolation and strengthen the sense of belonging that keeps our community healthy and connected.
