The Heritage Christian
Services Foundation exists to ensure people with developmental disabilities
have the best care and the best quality of life regardless of how the economy
is doing.
“Heritage Christian has
received Medicaid cuts, which means the need to strengthen our financial base
has never been more urgent – so we can maintain the fine services we offer now
and ensure our agency will stand strong for generations,” said Mark Zawacki,
executive director of the Foundation. “That’s why we’re asking you to give now,
to our four key areas.”
·
Spiritual
Life: The agency seeks to support people along their journeys of faith and
facilitate attendance at places of worship.
·
Workforce
and Talent Retention: The fund will help provide salary increases and
professional development, each a critical element in recruiting and retaining
the best employees. Also, it will ensure the agency can offer generous benefits
that are designed to retain a high quality staff.
·
Residential
Opportunities: Over time, people could face the loss of a parent or a sibling,
steep medical bills or other unforeseen challenges. To prepare for that, the
agency is creating a fund to ensure that financial grants can be provided in
times of change or crisis.
·
Health
and Wellness: Through the creation of the Heritage Christian Services
Successful Aging and Wellness program, which is now in a pilot phase, the
agency can help individuals age with grace, dignity, greater health, and an
even stronger sense of engagement.
