CLC is the organization it is today because of your generous support.
Each day, Christian Living Communities is able to pursue and sustain our vision, mission, and values because of your investment. Our community of supporters help ensure the well-being of current and future generations of older adults in enriching environments filled with connection, growth, citizenship, and joy.
Strengthening Our Foundation: A Campaign to Support CLC's Chaplain Services
In 2024, we will share the many stories and impactful differences of our meaningful Chaplain Services and how your support can help sustain them for years to come.
Your Impact in 2023
As a non-profit organization, Christian Living Communities depends on the generosity of caring residents, families, and friends to help fulfill our mission of enriching the quality and dignity of life for older adults in our non-profit owned communities. Last year through tax-deductible gifts, compassionate supporters helped provide services and care to more than 1,000 older adults daily.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
Scholarship Fund
Featured Story
One of the more significant ways that CLC supports the professional development of team members is through scholarships. For Alice Bomboma, who has been working at Holly Creek for almost ten years, scholarship funding helped her to achieve her goal of becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse.
“I’m so very happy and grateful to receive that scholarship,” Alice said. “When I get my license, I’ll be at CLC helping people. I am doing this with my heart... You are changing people's lives!”
