"Making one person smile can change the world
- maybe not the whole world, but their world." - Unknown |
Send A Smile is a community initiative based out of the Niagara Region. Our goal is to send smiles to retirement community residents, through heartfelt letters written by the Niagara community.

Why Your Letters Matter |
Only 10 Minutes of Your Time |
In an attempt to limit the spread of COVID-19, the Ontario government has placed strict restrictions on visitors in retirement communities. While this ensures they stay safe and healthy, our elderly citizens have been left unable to visit with their loved ones for nearly half a year.
Your heartfelt letters will provide them with love, support, and will help them feel connected to their community. Your letters will not only provide comfort during this uncertain time, but will also bring a sense of normality into your recipients life, helping them feel positive about their future. |
