Giving Opportunities


Bethesda Home and our residents are always grateful for your generous support. Thank you for helping us to continue our mission: providing the highest quality care in the name of Christ for the frail, elderly, and retired.

Due to safety requirements and the highly specific and medical nature of our needs, we are unable to accept physical donations of wish list items. However, you may mark your monetary donations to be used to purchase specific items. Donors / memorials will be appropriately identified on all suitable items.

There are many ways you can contribute to Bethesda Home’s Mission:

Donating cash / check gifts – (does your employer give matching gifts to charitable institutions?)
Make donations payable to:  Bethesda Home

Memorial and honorarium gifts
Families frequently choose Bethesda to receive memorial or honorarium gifts and families can designate those gifts are to specific causes. We can provide families with options to consider.

All monetary donations are tax deductible and if you provide your contact information with your donation, we will send you a receipt.

Donating non-cash gifts
Did you know an estimated 90% of America’s wealth is in non-cash assets – yet the majority of ministries received less than half of their gifts from these assets.  The reason is because they are not set up to accept non-cash gifts.  Bethesda Home has partnered with Everence (Mennonite Foundation) to allow donors to gift a variety of non-cash gifts.  Please follow the link to a wealth of educational information that may help you discern how you might build up God’s kingdom through generous and planned giving.
