GIFTS OF LOVE FROM TWO

HAND ON CARE PROGRAM 

Gifts of Love from Two in Love

By Roxanne Foster, Director, Volunteer Services, John Muir Health

Recently a very special friend of Caring Hands passed away. Madeline Park had been a philanthropic supporter of Caring Hands and its important mission since inception. Madeline made a legacy gift of $10,000, which we received as part of her estate. In 2011, Caring Hands had received another special gift of $20,000 from the estate of Robert Clough. You see, Bob and Madeline were two very special people in love with each other, both of whom loved to provide charitable gifts to programs that improved the community.

Because Caring Hands is a community collaborative program, a portion of operating funds each year must come from the contributions of organizational funders and generous individuals such as Madeline and Bob. Over the years, other special friends of Caring Hands like Miriam LaRieu and Ruth Steiner, who also believed passionately in the mission of Caring Hands and made gifts an- nually during their lives, also made legacy gifts through their estates.

We give special thanks and recognition to Madeline Park for her generous con- tributions to Caring Hands and the important services our volunteers provide to seniors in Contra Costa County. Her legacy lives on.
