Maxville Manor Redevelopment Project

What is this project about?

The Maxville Manor Foundation Board is currently overseeing the Together Fundraising Campaign, a community driven fundraising campaign to help bring a $68 Million Maxville Manor redevelopment project to life. Our request for funding support for phase one focuses on the Maxville Manor Kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of any home, and the Maxville Manor is no exception. It serves 140,000 hot meals to residents, staff, community and surrounding areas through the Meals on Wheels program, day away program and coffee clubs. We are increasing this capacity through our drive through meals program as well as a program supported by Scotiabank that will offer monthly fruits and vegetables at very reasonable cost to seniors in our community. At this time, due to the high cost of outside catering services, we have had to modify or put on hold some of our activities where we offer food as we work to increase our kitchen capacity. Food services are provided for resident activities which include families and community for special events, palliative care, in-house meetings, staff, day programming onsite and offsite, Meals on Wheels, Community congregate diner, and community coffee groups. We want to partner with local elementary school to provide hot meals, offer community cooking and baking workshops, and offer affordable catering services for local events. The direct cost of equipment to deliver this new model is $418,877.47, with supporting equipment estimated over $1 million. This increase will come primarily from kitchen efficiencies, that will allow us to increase our capacity to serve more people in the following ways: Increased ability offer more Meals on Wheels, offer drive-through diners to our full community (seniors, schools etc.), invite families to enjoy a meal with loved ones, make hot meals available for purchase by staff and volunteers, and cater our own events and meetings, something we currently outsource.

Why is this project important to the community?

This project is not only an investment in care—it’s an investment in people. With the expansion of our services and the addition of 38 new beds, we anticipate the creation of approximately 75 new positions across various disciplines, including nursing, personal support work, allied health, food services, maintenance, and administration. These opportunities will total approximately 250 jobs and 200 volunteer roles to Maxville and the surrounding communities. Today our staff and volunteers total between 180 - 200 staff and 150 volunteers. Our redevelopment project has confirmed support by a wide range of community partners, each contributing their expertise, volunteer services, and leadership to help ensure its success: Ontario Health at Home, Local Churches (Four Denominations): The founding partners of Maxville Manor, these churches continue to offer their volunteer services, helping to enrich our community-based approach to care. Kenyon Agricultural Society: This group has been instrumental in supporting our fundraising efforts through the marketing of a match campaign, organizing events and providing volunteers. Their long-standing community involvement and leadership continue to play a crucial role in the success of our project. We are grateful for the support of local municipal governments, who have committed to contributing both resources and advocacy to ensure the success of this project. Our building and steering committees are made up of business professionals, community leaders, and local experts. These dedicated volunteers provide guidance and strategic oversight, ensuring the project moves forward efficiently and meets the needs of the community. Fundraising consultants, Sam Laprade and BMP Goldie has been pivotal in developing and executing our fundraising strategy. Greater River Ontario Health Team, Advantage Ontario and Lions Clubs (Maxville, Finch, Vankleek Hill, Alexandria) have been a key partner, offering both financial and volunteer support.
