Find a treasure at Presbyterian Village annual auction
Chances are, you have heard of Fort Scott Presbyterian Village’s Annual Dinner and Auction. Every May, the not-for-profit retirement community offers a delicious dinner from Chicken Annie’s and a live and silent auction. You have probably heard that it is a casual, upbeat evening of fun and excitement! What you may not know is why this event is held. “All of the proceeds directly benefit our residents at Fort Scott Presbyterian Village who have a financial need,” said Executive Director Ginger Nance. “As a Christian based, mission-driven community, Presbyterian Village provides care for those who call us home, even if they should outlive their personal financial resources.” The annual dinner and auction is the largest fundraiser for Presbyterian Village’s Good Samaritan Program, which helps these residents. The Good Samaritan Program depends solely on donations from friends and supporters of Presbyterian Village. “As our residents age, their needs change and their resources may dwindle. As a result, some come to rely on government programs, which do not keep pace with escalating costs. Presbyterian Village’s Good Samaritan Program fills in that gap. It is through support from local citizens to the Good Samaritan Program that we are able to ensure our residents’ peace of mind that they will receive continued, assisted living, quality care year after year in our setting.” Ginger said. You can help raise money for the Good Samaritan Program while at the same time enjoying good food and a fun auction at this year’s Village fundraiser on Wednesday, May 17, at 2401 S. Horton.
