Charitable Giving
Annual Wish List Campaign
It is the time of year for giving gifts, and every year at this time we ask our friends in the community to consider a gift to our Wish List Annual Appeal. Please take a moment to read the attached letter and make a charitable contribution to help our residents at Holy Family Manor, Holy Family Personal Care Homes, and Holy Family Apartments. Donations can be made online, by using a Wish List envelope (available at the Holy Family Manor receptionist, or at Grace Mansion and at Trexler Pavilion), or by mailing a check (see below for details).

Gifts to the Holy Family Benevolent Fund benefit the residents of Holy Family Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center and Residential Services Communities.
Purpose of the Benevolent Care FundThe purpose of the Holy Family Benevolent Fund is twofold: primarily, it will be used to help pay for the uncompensated care of residents in our residential services facilities - the difference between the regular room rate and what the resident is able to pay.
Secondarily, the Holy Family Benevolent Fund will be used to establish, develop and support quality care programs for the benefit of our residents...programs that otherwise could not be provided.
Expenditures are controlled by the purposes of the bequests/donations. Within these restrictions, the Fund may be spent for program/development purposes
