Your support helps ensure our Aitkin communities always have care close to home. Many thanks for your help!

Today is Give to the Max Day — and it’s also Rural Health Day.
Both remind us of something Minnesotans understand deeply: care close to home matters.

Across the state — in small towns, farming communities, and our larger cities — thousands of seniors and adults with disabilities rely on local nonprofit care centers like ours. And what many people don’t realize is this:

👉 We are a nonprofit organization.
👉 Every single one of our care centers is nonprofit.
👉 We help keep quality care close to home.

For more than 60 years, our mission has been to provide dignity, joy, safety, and connection for those who depend on us. Families count on us. Communities trust us. And when care has been at risk in Minnesota, we’ve stepped in to keep it local.

But continuing this work takes all of us.
And today, your support matters more than ever.

Every dollar stays right here in Minnesota.
Every gift strengthens care.
And together, we can protect the promise of care for generations to come. 💛

Aitkin community, thank you for everything that you do for us and our community! We are truly blessed to be a part of this wonderful community and thank you for all your support. We would love if you would continue to extend your gratitude and consider donating to AHS. Every little bit helps, and we could not do it without you.

In towns all across Minnesota, one thing has always mattered most: taking care of our own.

For more than 60 years, our nonprofit care communities have been places where people find safety, joy, dignity, and connection — close to home and close to the people they love.

But here’s the reality we’re facing:
👉 Rural care is disappearing.
👉 Families are losing the option to keep parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends close.
👉 Many don’t realize how many small-town care centers have closed in the last few years.

A few weeks ago, we introduced our new foundation — built on the 60-year legacy of nonprofit, faith-based, compassionate care St. Francis Health Services has provided since 1963.
Our mission is simple:
💛 Protect care close to home
💛 Bring daily joy to seniors and adults with disabilities
💛 Ensure every Minnesota community has care for life

This work matters. And it only happens because of people like you — people who care deeply about their hometowns, their neighbors, and the generations who built our communities.

If you believe Minnesota is stronger when we look out for each other, we’d love for you to follow along, share this post, and be part of this growing movement.

💛 Together, we can protect the promise of care in Minnesota.
