Help make a difference.

Your generous contributions to Brethren Village have a profound impact on the lives of our Residents. Deeply rooted in the service tradition of the Church of the Brethren, we are committed to fulfilling our mission of providing a continuum of care and support to enhance the spiritual, physical, social, and emotional well-being of our Residents, Team Members, and community.
The burden of healthcare expenses can deplete a Resident’s personal resources, leaving them in need of financial aid. Through your charitable donations, Brethren Village can sustain vital services and high-quality care for all our Residents, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Around 40% of Residents in supportive living require financial assistance, as government programs and supplementary insurance often fail to cover the actual costs of care. Your support ensures that our Residents can access daily care and essential services, even when their resources are exhausted. Every donation to Brethren Village, no matter the size, brings tangible benefits to those we serve.

Endowment Fund
Gifts to the Endowment Fund are invested over many years, building principal that provides a source of income to cover the cost of benevolent care. Established in 1918, this wonderful tradition continues today, thanks to the many individuals and organizations that support this fund.
