Be Part of the Miracle–Donate
Since 1869, the Little Sisters of the Poor have served the elderly of the Philadelphia area with compassion and love. Sustaining at one point three homes welcoming more than 300 Residents, the community of the greater Philadelphia area has been part of an on-going miracle. People are often at a loss to understand how we can continue to run our home as we have always done, relying in great part on the generosity of the community with their gifts, great and small, and God’s goodness. As Little Sisters of the Poor, we have always relied on God’s generosity and the kindness of the people in this on-going work of caring for the needy elderly.
Approximately 60 percent of the funds needed to operate Holy Family Home come through income generated by the Residents, with about 90 percent of this coming from Medicaid reimbursement. The remaining 40 percent of the needed income is generated through fundraising — everything from direct mail campaigns, church collections, legacies, grants, and numerous fundraising events held each year.
Please consider making a gift to help us continue providing exceptional care and spiritual support to the elderly in need.
