Arden Hills Shop Sells...
and Gives Special Gifts
Carriage Gifts, the volunteer-staffed
shop located in Presbyterian Homes of
Arden Hills Village Square, offers more
than a favorite community destination
for residents, family members and staff.
This year’s entire proceeds of $13,000
contributed towards enhancing residents’
lives. Purchases made with past years’
earnings include a pontoon boat, a
sound system for the Village Square,
patio furniture, wheelchair swings and
maintenance of the aviary. Carriage Gifts
carries women’s clothing and accessories,
decorative housewares, and inspirational,
seasonal and children’s items. The shop
will be decked out soon for its annual Fall
into Christmas Showcase, November 6-7.
The shop is open to the public.
Waverly Gardens Chaplaincy
Endowment Campaign
The Waverly Gardens community has
gifted $847,325 towards the goal of
$1.5 million for its Chaplaincy Endowment.
The endowment will fund a full-time
chaplain, provide spiritual support for
residents of all faiths, and ensure the
long-term continuity of the spiritual care
program during uncertain economic times.
Several donors chose to assign a portion
of their entrance deposit to the
endowment, thus providing a future gift
that will be available when they move out
of their apartments. They are currently
recognized for their gifts as Triangle of
Caring Friends members.
