Who We Are
Making Everyday Moments Better
Gentle Family Community Support (GFCS) is a nonprofit organization devoted to uplifting seniors across Durham Region. Our services are rooted in respect, compassion, and community engagement—ensuring every individual can stay active, socially connected, and cared for in the place they call home.
Life’s simplest moments can bring the greatest joys. At GFCS, we focus on little but impactful gestures—like helping with daily tasks, sharing a friendly conversation, or providing a comforting presence. Each moment of support adds up to a happier, more independent life for seniors throughout Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, and Oshawa.
