From wooden bowls to charcuterie boards, each piece reflects incredible creativity and generosity. Proceeds from these handcrafted works help support Benevolent Care — quietly making a difference for neighbors.
Their efforts contribute more than $10,000 annually, creating meaningful impact across our communities.

We’re grateful for residents who share their gifts in ways that truly embody compassion in action.

For Esperanza Villalobos, Director of Housekeeping at Covenant Living at the Samarkand, giving back is personal.

She not only supports the Benevolent Care Fund herself - she inspires her entire Facilities Management Team to do the same, raising $3,000 this year for the residents they care for every day.

"I want to give back a little bit of what the residents give to me and my team. They put their trust in us and make us part of their family. It's an honor to help them live with digninty and peace of mind."

Your generosity helps make benevolent care possible — providing comfort, dignity, and peace of mind for residents when it matters most.

Did you know? Even if you take the standard deduction, there may still be ways to receive a charitable tax benefit. Options like Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs or Donor-Advised Funds can allow you to support our mission while giving thoughtfully and efficiently.

If you’re planning a gift this year, it may be worth a conversation with your advisor to explore what approach aligns best with your goals — and helps ensure benevolent care remains available for those who need it.

Your support enables your friends and neighbors to continue to Live with Promise in their Covenant Living communities.
