This year’s Community Care Day was another meaningful opportunity for LSTAR to connect with the incredible organizations serving individuals and families across London and St. Thomas. Our Community Engagement Committee spent the day visiting eight of our charity recipient locations and learning more about the vital programs they provide in our region.
Thank you to our dedicated Community Engagement Team, CEO Bill Madder, Chair Dale Marsh, and Claire Dawson, Senior Manager of Events & Engagement, for joining us and helping make the day such a success. We are also grateful to Lorraine for her outstanding support throughout the day and for getting everyone safely to each stop despite the challenging weather.
Seeing firsthand how member-supported donations strengthen local services was both impactful and inspiring. These organizations play a critical role in offering shelter, meals, crisis support, housing stability, family services, and compassionate care for those who need it most.
Charity Visits Included:
- The Grace Cafe
- YWCA St. Thomas-Elgin – Project Tiny Hope
- Valora Place
- Society of Saint Vincent de Paul London
- Merrymount Family Support & Crisis Centre
- My Sisters' Place
- Unity Project for Relief of Homelessness in London

Thank you to our members and community partners for your continued generosity and commitment to supporting local charities. Community Care Day is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together in service of others.
