What started as a shy eighth grader “just trying something after school” turned into 750+ hours of impact. See how one CentraCare junior volunteer found confidence, connection and a calling in healthcare — one shift at a time.

Thanks to generous community support, the Gorecki Guest House recently updated 12 of their recliners in their guest rooms. These new chairs are comfortable and made of a fabric which is easier to keep clean, allowing rooms to be turned over more quickly for new guests.

The Gorecki Guest House, named after benefactors Benedict and Dorothy Gorecki opened in 2009 and has 28 guest rooms to serve families of patients receiving care in the St. Cloud area.

The guest house relies on donations to offset operating costs and to keep room rates affordable. If you would like to join our family of support, donate online or call CentraCare Foundation at 320-240-2810.

You also may support the guest house through a donation of gift cards or household goods, such as beverages, individual serving items, and paper and cleaning products.
