Many thanks to The Holmstad residents, family, friends, and staff who enjoyed The Holmstad’s Traditional Good Samaritan Coffee & Tea Benefit on Saturday, February 9th! The Holmstad residents and their families generously donated their time and considerable baking talent by fully stocking The Gathering Place with an amazing array of home-baked cookies and specialty breads to share with our community. In keeping with the tradition, the baked goods were free, and donations were welcome.
The Good Samaritan Fund was created nearly 30 years ago by Holmstad residents in support of our neighbors in need. This fund provides temporary financial assistance to cover unexpected and unforeseen costs for Holmstad residents who may need, but cannot afford, items critical to their quality of life. Such necessities may include wheelchairs, hearing aids, walkers, dental or medical procedures, a prosthesis, or special therapies.
Last year, The Good Samaritan Fund distributed $15,000 to Holmstad residents in need. We have raised nearly $9,000 so far! Additional donations are always appreciated! Please contact Amanda Slaiher at (630) 879-4200 or acslaiher@covenantretirement.org for more information. ... See moreSee less
