Why Do I Give? BY JACOB GROENEWOLD
We are bombarded dai- ly by people looking for gifts and support, and as Christians, we are cer-
strong at a Providence community. Our gifts help us train and educate our compassionate staff to make sure they are putting their best foot forward each day at work. We can help those living in our Memo- ry Care communities have the special touches they need to feel peace and comfort. We can continue our chaplaincy program that has brought so much care to our residents and their families. We can continue to help Providence enhance lives, as they have faithfully for over 100 years.

Aside from the rich circle of friends she built there among other residents, we saw countless examples of staff who truly cared about her deeply. We can say with confidence that hers was a life enhanced by Providence, as was ours. I currently volunteer my time serving as Board Chair at Providence, and I gladly give financially as well. I’m fully invested in Providence because I have seen what these financial gifts can do. We can assist those whose resources have run out so that they can finish
