Support Our Mission
Donate goods, supplies, or services that directly enrich the daily lives of seniors at John Bertram Homes.
Not every meaningful gift is a check. In-kind donations — goods, supplies, and services — directly support the activities, comfort, and celebrations that make our communities feel like home. Because we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, in-kind gifts may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Before dropping anything off, please reach out so we can confirm current needs and arrange a convenient time. It helps us make the most of your generosity.
What We Welcome
A starting point — contact us for our current wish list, which changes with the seasons and programming.
Art materials, puzzles, games, and supplies that support our enrichment programs.
Large-print books, audiobooks, and CDs for our libraries and music programs.
New blankets, lap robes, and seasonal décor that brighten common spaces.
Flowers, decorations, and treats for holidays, birthdays, and resident celebrations.
Musicians, performers, and volunteers who can share their talents with residents.
Plants, planters, and materials that enhance our courtyards and outdoor spaces.
Contact either community to confirm current needs and coordinate your in-kind donation. We’ll make it easy.
