Giving

In 1955, Edna Hoffer opened the Pleasant View Rest Home on the land beside her family farm. For years, with the help of Grace Barto and Esther Henry, the fruits and vegetables that Edna grew were staples on her residents’ tables.

Today, Pleasant View is still a place for gentle servants and giving spirits.

Your generous gifts help Pleasant View to provide over 3 million dollars in benevolent care annually (for residents who have worked hard in their lifetime to provide for their family and community but who now need financial support).

You spark joy as you give your time, talents, and treasure. Your gifts for and support of the Kreider Farms Cultural Center, the Maker Space, and Hoffer Farm will spark joy for those at Pleasant View and for the Manheim community for years to come.

Your giving helps Pleasant View to partner with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank through our hydroponics growing initiative. We currently provide over 1,000 heads of lettuce and hope to grow even more food (in the years to come) for our neighbors experiencing food insecurity.

You matter and your giving matters. Together we aspire to provide healthy, vibrant living—full of joy, meaning, and purpose—through passionate, Christ-like service.
