Twenty-six years ago, an annual tradition for our Community began with the establishment of the Tree of Lights!
Between November 1st and December 31st, your donation to the Benevolent Care Fund or Friends Ministers’ Fund of Friends Fellowship Community, Inc. will be represented by a light on the Tree of Lights. The Benevolent Care Fund directly supports residents who are experiencing financial hardship and are unable to pay their monthly invoice to Friends Fellowship Community. The Friends Ministers’ Fund provides financial assistance for retired Friends ministers, missionaries, and their spouses who have dedicated their lives to serving Friends in Indiana Yearly Meeting.
Contributions may be given in memory or honor of a family member, friend, or other loved one. Those honored will be informed of the gift in their name and notification for memorial gifts will be per donor request as indicated on the order form.
After the official tree lighting ceremony, the colorful lights on the tree will remain illuminated during the nighttime hours throughout the holiday season for all to enjoy. Lights will continue to be added as we receive donations throughout the month of December.
Last year, we placed over 125 lights on the tree. With each passing year, as our tree grows, we hope the support for our Benevolent Care and Friends Ministers’ Funds will grow as the awareness of their purpose grows as well.
Donation forms are available at the main desk. Checks may be made payable to Friends Fellowship Community. The minimum donation per light and name is ten dollars. Your participation in supporting this important cause is greatly appreciated!
