How To Help The Wesley Community During COVID-19
Many have asked how to help Wesley during this difficult time for our residents and our dedicated staff. Here are some ideas:
Ways You Can Help The Wesley Community During COVID-19:
- Make a donation to the Virtual Enrichment Initiative to support the expansion of our virtual visitation and individualized activity programming for Wesley Health Care Center residents to stay in touch and engaged through the pandemic. Funds raised for this initiative will help to purchase additional tablets and technology.
- Make a donation to the Staff Emergency Fund which provides emergency resources to staff members of The Wesley Community during an unexpected time of need.
- Make a general donation to The Wesley Foundation through our General Fund. To meet the challenge COVID-19 presents, both today and in the future, Wesley is incurring significant costs beyond our normal operating budget.
- Purchase gift certificates in small increments from a local restaurant that we can use to order takeout for our dedicated staff. The staff is working diligently to keep residents safe and this would be a welcome treat. Please call ahead and let us know your plans so we can coordinate by calling 518-691-1420 or email foundation@thewesleycommunity.org
If you have other ideas, give us a call at 518-691-1420 or email foundation@thewesleycommunity.org.
Thank you for thinking of us during this difficult time.
