The Menorah Manor Foundation cultivates charitable resources needed to support Menorah Manor's present operations and ensures the Center's financial stability and future services. It has become vital in allowing Menorah Manor to carefully follow its mission.
Annual Membership
Membership gifts help Menorah Manor hold true to its mission by providing income to offset the difference between the actual cost of caring for our residents and the reimbursement that is received from inadequate government and private insurance programs. Members make a contribution of $100 or more to the Annual Membership Campaign.
