Ways of Giving

A Culture of Giving

Since our founding in 1893 as a Quaker boarding home, charitable giving by residents, their families, charitable foundations, religious organizations, and members of the community has had a positive impact on the quality of life of our residents. These contributions have enabled us to provide special programs and services that would not be possible without private support.

Gifts in recent years have supported:

  • Anne's Garden, the Worth Garden, and three other beautiful gardens enjoyed by residents and their families;
  • Resident Assistance Fund, which assures that elderly residents whose resources have dwindled will be able to remain in their home at Barclay Friends;
  • Horticultural Therapy, to provide social, recreational, and therapeutic opportunities for both experienced and novice gardeners;
  • Barclay Friends van, which takes residents to Longwood Gardens, Winterthur, Valley Forge Park, Dairy Queen, and other popular destinations.
