Episcopal Senior Ministries: Donate

There are many ways to support Episcopal Senior Ministries and its services. Volunteer opportunities are listed throughout the website. In addition, ESM has a long history of financial giving. This section describes ways in which individuals, churches, and businesses can provide financial gifts to support the work of ESM. Its first home for the elderly was given by Cornelia Jones in 1924. Individuals, corporations, and churches have helped ESM expand its services and provide subsidies for those in need.

Today, Contributions Allow ESM to:

offer care management services through ESM Cares on a sliding scale fee basis;
provide financial assistance to residents at Friendship Terrace Retirement Community who otherwise might be forced to leave due to changes in their financial circumstances;
provide supportive house and shared living opportunities to low in come seniors through Christian Communities Group Homes.
help seniors remain safely in their own homes through the Age-in-Place program serving Washington, DC.
support transportation services in Southern Prince George's County through St. Philip's Senior Van and in Northwest Washington through IONA’s transportation service funded by ESM;
provide subsidized medical and health advise to low income seniors in ESM’s housing communities,
sponsor the annual May Senior Celebrations to recognize the contributions seniors throughout the Episcopal Washington Diocese have made to their church and community
provide some financial assistance for medical necessities; and
recruit and coordinate volunteer services to improve the lives of seniors.
