For 147 years (127 years in Somerville), the Little Sisters of the Poor have served the elderly of the greater Boston area with compassion and love. Sustaining our Home throughout these years has been an on-going miracle. People are often at a loss to understand how we can continue to run our Home as we have always done, relying in great part on the generosity of the community with their gifts great and small and God’s goodness. As Little Sisters of the Poor, we have always relied on God’s generosity and the kindness and donations of the people in this ongoing work of caring for the needy Elderly.
Approximately 50% of the funds required to operate the Jeanne Jugan Residence come from funding such as Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement, but the other 50% needed to run the home is generated through fundraising such as direct mail campaigns, church collections. grants, legacies, and fundraising events held throughout the year.
