Creating Abundant Life in Community

Investment in Transforming Aging

Staff members track data related to the mission, vision and values by answering questions such as:

“ How can we help to build influence in the larger culture and nurture their understanding of Abundant Life?”

“ How does our mission lead us into the larger community to help transform aging there?”

Building a Culture of Community, Wholeness and Peace

“ What are the things we do in our communities that contribute to building the culture of community, wholeness and peace, thanks to the philanthropic support of others?”
