YOU CREATED A NEW HOME FOR SENIORS! Hillside residents grateful to donors and getting ready to move back home
Thanks to you, the first gathering in the new space at The Village of Hillside was held in August, almost a year after 24+ residents were relocated for the building of their new home. The celebration marked the wrap up of the fundraising campaign, led by committee co-chairs Fred Walstrom and Linda Rhodes-Pauly. You contributed over $1.6 million to give these seniors a brand new, accessible home, and a larger community senior center—thank you! Construction is now expected to be completed in October, and residents are looking forward to moving in!
THREE PROBLEMS YOU SOLVED AT THE HILLSIDE CAMPUS: THE PROBLEM
YOUR SOLUTION

Two elevators have been added to the new building—thanks to you!
Residents had difficulty maneuvering around their kitchens and bathrooms
The new homes are accessible and barrier-free—thanks to you!
Community seniors at the Friendship Center had to compete for space
The Friendship Center is nearly triple its former size with rooms for meal prep, private exams, a computer lab and more—thanks to you!
