\u201cIf there\u2019s one thing Aldersgate residents are known for, it\u2019s bringing people together to celebrate friendship and make the world a better place,\u201d said Karen Gipson, Chief Mission Advancement Officer. \u201cThe Guardian Angel Fund is just another expression of what happens when the community puts their energy behind a cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

Residents will celebrate the giving season on December 1, 2021 at the Aldersgate tree lighting ceremony. Angels can be dedicated in your own name, the name of a loved one, or anyone special who embodies the spirit of the Guardian Angel Fund.<\/p>\n

When a minimum $25 contribution is made, a wooden angel is decorated with the dedicatee\u2019s name, and is placed on the grand Wintergarden lobby tree. A designated team of resident artists decorates each ornament by hand, taking great care in each angel\u2019s design. The Angel Tree is a symbol of hope and friendship in the community, and a reminder of Aldersgate\u2019s commitment to supporting its residents.<\/p>\n

With donor help, the Guardian Angel Fund will continue to support residents who need a little help making ends meet while living at Aldersgate. Aldersgate\u2019s status as a nonprofit Life Plan Community places resident well-being at the center of their work. Aldersgate residents enjoy peace of mind knowing that they can remain at Aldersgate if they, through no fault of their own, outlive their resources. Supporting this fund allows you to be a \u201cGuardian Angel\u201d for residents who experience financial hardship\u2014allowing Aldersgate residents to live with peace of mind and dignity.<\/p>\n
