Our organization receives funding from Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) toward some of the operational programs and services.
Most of our operating revenues comes from our meal programs, fundraising activities, grants, Victoria Lifeline services, lock box sales, room rentals, donations, and membership fees.

We have space available for small group meetings in our Prairie Room and Games Room that are wheelchair accessible. Additionally, we can also accommodate larger groups in our Don Glen Room, which is able to be licensed and is also wheelchair accessible.

We are always happy to have volunteers help us out with various programs that we have such as “Dinner is Served”. We would like to have some volunteers to make friendly phone calls to some of our shut ins.
