Ways to Support the VBH Foundation This Holiday Season

For many people, the holiday season is all about giving gifts to loved ones, decorating, preparing favorite recipes, spending time with family and friends and reflecting on the year’s blessings. As you make your list, you may want to consider a gift in the form of benevolence this year.

Lakewood Retirement Community’s Honor Tree

For 70 years, LifeSpire of Virginia has remained committed to seniors. During this time, we have never asked a life-care resident to leave their home due to insufficient funds that resulted through no fault of their own. Through the generosity of loyal donors like you, the VBH Foundation will provide almost $1.2 million in essential services and programs to 52 seniors this year.  Safe, secure housing, wellness and spiritual programs, nutritious meals, socialization, prescription drugs, rehabilitation therapy, and skilled nursing care all help to keep a senior healthy and active.

During the holiday season, the VBH Foundation sponsors an Honor Tree in each of our communities. We decorate these special trees with the names of individuals who have been honored or remembered with a gift to the VBH Foundation during the year. The holiday season can be a difficult time when you have lost a loved one, and the Honor Tree is one way to commemorate their passing. More information about making a tribute gift is available online.

LifeSpire of Virginia’s mission of “empowering individuals with choices in purposeful living” doesn’t just extend to our residents.
