With the generosity of our donors, Yee Hong will soon start construction on our new Finch II Centre. We need your continued support to build the new facility as soon as possible, so that more seniors can benefit from Yee Hong’s quality care services.
The four existing Yee Hong centres are among the top ten long-term care homes with the longest wait times in the Greater Toronto Area. Over 8,000 seniors are currently on our wait list and the median wait time is 3 years, with the longest wait up to 10 years.
To tackle this urgent problem, we have launched the “Love Gives” Capital Campaign to raise funds for the construction of three new long-term care centres in total. We’ve already reached $10 million, but we still have a long journey ahead. The total construction cost for the Finch II Centre alone is over $120 million.
Whether you donate now, plan a legacy gift, or host your own event, there are many ways that you can support our capital campaign. Visit LoveGives.ca to learn more.
Together, we can build a new legacy of love that will last forever.
Host Your Own Fundraiser
This spring, the spotlight is on Clara Leung, who hosted a fundraising exercise class to celebrate her retirement in March!
Clara’s passion for our seniors is truly inspiring – not only through nearly 20 years of dedicated service at Yee Hong Garden Terrace, but also her kind support for many of our fundraisers.
Though she has retired from her full-time position, she will stay on part-time with Yee Hong Community and Professional Services to help seniors stay active and engaged, as well as continue volunteering in the Yee Hong Family Division of our Love Gives Capital Campaign.

Your Planned Gift Can Make A Significant Impact For Your Family And Our Seniors
When you think about your legacy, how do you want to be remembered? Most of us would just like to know that we’ve made a positive impact in the world. A planned gift to Yee Hong will make a real difference to the lives of our seniors.
One of our longest-supporting donors, Mrs. Pauline Tsang Po-Yan, planned a gift of $700,000 to Yee Hong prior to her passing on Jan 18, 2023. She told us, “One of my biggest missions in life is to enjoy my golden years to the fullest, living with dignity, respect, and independence. I am extremely grateful that I made it.”
“But even better is the opportunity I have to help other seniors who are not as fortunate. I am in my late eighties now and I’m not sure if I will still be around when Yee Hong will finally build new long-term care centres, but I’m sure I’ve built this legacy for the community, and it is immortal.”
