Be Part of the Miracle–Donate
For 140 years 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 are 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 of the people in this ongoing work of caring for the needy Elderly.
Approximately 50% of the funds needed to operate Jeanne Jugan Residence comes through income are generated by the Residents, with about 90% of this coming from Medicaid reimbursement. The remaining 50% of the needed income is generated through fundraising—everything from direct mail campaigns, church collections, legacies and grants to the numerous fund raising events held each year.
