Easy At Home Service Project

Bethesda Lutheran Communities is safe and sound in residential service locations and following all guidelines given by the CDC.

Bethesda could use your help to add cheer and encouragement in the midst of uncertainty. Bethesda in Colorado currently supports roughly 250 adult individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Please consider sending a written note or greeting card to be shared with a Bethesda Direct Support Professional (care staff) or a Person we Support.

• DO NOT GO OUT TO PURCHASE A CARD
• Use what you have available to you
• It could be fun to get a Valentine or Christmas card in the midst of this crazy time
• Include a Bible verse and encouraging words
• Make a card or draw a picture
• Get children involved
• Whatever is sent will be appreciated

Bethesda Regional Offices will share cards with people supported and Direct Support Professionals. Please invite others to join us as well.

SEND TO:
