Designating allows you to direct your gift to a particular area of interest and passion. Or you may prefer to make an unrestricted gift.

Please contact Mindy Fetherman, Development Associate, with questions at 717-664-6266 or at mfetherman@pvcommunities.org.

Your gift will bless a resident who receives benevolent care. The care of approximately 25% of personal care residents and 50% of skilled nursing residents is supplemented, or paid for entirely, by benevolent care. Pleasant View provides 3 million dollars in benevolent care annually. This includes the difference between the cost of providing care and what Pleasant View receives in reimbursement from Medicaid.

Your gift for the endowment fund will meet future benevolent care needs. Monies received into this fund are permanently restricted.

Your gift will benefit residents living in one of our Memory Support Neighborhoods. It will enhance the living space, programs, and services (and staff training) for residents living with cognitive issues.

Your gift will help to provide specific items (or programming) that enhance our programs and services and spark joy for residents, families, and staff. The current Wish List will be posted here soon.  

Your gift will help a Pleasant View staff member who experiences an unexpected expense such as a medical bill, vehicle repair bill, housing issue, etc.

Your gift will support the current work of the Hoffer Farm.

Hoffer Farm is currently home to alpacas, goats, sheep, and chickens that provide animal therapy for residents and Manheim students. Hoffer Farm’s greenhouses use hydroponic growing systems.

Orchards and gardens will be cultivated with berries and flowers, providing food for residents and locals, as well as habitat for wildlife. Future crops will be donated to local food banks working to eradicate food insecurity in our region.

Your gift will help Pleasant View to build (and furnish) a makerspace next to the Kreider Farms Cultural Center. The makerspace will offer classes and studio time for ceramics, fabric and fiber arts, art and print making, and technology. Please contact us with questions, including about naming opportunities (for studio space, etc.).

When you make an unrestricted gift, the Pleasant View leadership will use your gift to offset care costs, for capital improvements, for new initiatives, etc.
