Giving Week Progress:
FUNDRAISING GOAL: $6,000
Programs Supported by Your Donations
Donations to PA OH Gives will be used to upgrade the courtyard at The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley. An enhanced courtyard can greatly improve the quality of life our residents by supporting their physical, emotional, and social well-being. It encourages movement and outdoor activity, which promotes better health and mobility, while exposure to sunlight and nature helps reduce stress and improve mood. Courtyards also provide valuable opportunities for social interaction, community events, and personal engagement, helping to reduce isolation and foster a sense of purpose and joy in daily life. Any funds raised over the amount needed to upgrade the courtyard will be used to support the Good Samaritan Fund at The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley. The Good Samaritan Fund supports benevolent care and is provided to residents who exhaust their financial resources and cannot afford the full cost of their care. This program ensures that no resident ever has to leave The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley because of financial reasons. Last year, The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley provided more than $60,700 in benevolent and unfunded care, emphasizing the need for continued support.
Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help
Due to rising inflation, The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley has experienced significantly increased operating and supply costs, placing added strain on our nonprofit budget. As a result, we’ve been unable to move forward with important projects—like enhancing our courtyard, a space with the potential to greatly enrich the daily lives of our residents. This outdoor area offers opportunities for fresh air, physical movement, social connection, and quiet reflection. With your support, we can transform it into a welcoming, accessible space that promotes health, reduces isolation, and brings comfort, joy, and dignity to those who call The Ridgewood at Shenago Valley home.
