This week's features a letter from our Director of Engagement, Jen Lane.

The Gift That Lasts Beyond the Season

For 75 years, Friendship Haven has been a place built on generosity — the giving of time, talent, and treasure from countless individuals who believe in the power of community. Every brick, every program, and every smile shared on our campus tells the story of people who cared enough to give.

From volunteers who share their talents and companionship, to donors whose financial gifts provide comfort and care, Friendship Haven has thrived because of a shared belief: that everyone deserves to feel they belong, are cared for, and are valued.

As we wrap up the celebration of our 75th anniversary, we pause with gratitude for all who have played a part in shaping our story. And as the holiday season approaches, we invite you to continue that legacy of giving.

Your generosity can help provide residents with moments of belonging — the warmth of companionship, the joy of music and laughter, and the comfort of knowing they are surrounded by a caring community. Whether it’s a gift that helps enhance daily life, supports special programs, or sustains the Good Samaritan or Care Trust Fund, your kindness ensures that Friendship Haven continues to be a place where love and care live year-round.

This holiday season, give the gift that truly matters - the gift of belonging, care, and joy. Should you choose to share your generosity with Friendship Haven, please go to https://www.friendshiphaven.org/support to donate online. It’s a gift that endures long after the holidays have passed, touching lives and strengthening our community every day.

Thank you for being a part of our family and for considering a gift to Friendship Haven. Together, we can continue the tradition of generosity that has defined Friendship Haven for 75 years.
