Perspectives Magazine: Spring 2011 - Presbyterian Homes & Services

Throughout the past half-century of
service, our donors have answered
the call to make a difference and
touch lives every day.
Your generosity is a testimony to the belief that long life is a
blessing. Your gifts create the margin of excellence that directly
benefits older adults and supports their freedom to live well.
Whether you make a small donation in honor or memory of
a loved one, or include PHS in your estate, every gift makes a
difference. We value your commitment and contribution to the
PHS mission. Thank you.
Your gifts to Presbyterian Homes
Foundation may be designated
for the following funds:
Where the need is greatest
Allows PHS, with Board approval, to
allocate funds where they are most

This may include the ability to do

space, planting gardens, introducing a
new program as well as covering some
unexpected expenses.

in a PHS community even when they
have outlived their financial resources.
Spiritual Life
Provides access to spiritual care for every
resident, regardless of faith persuasion,
