Programs: The year ending june 30, 2017 was one of activity, growth, and transition as construction on project envision's first phase was in full swing all year long. From changes in parking to planned power outages, the campus community worked together in many ways, and donors and volunteers continued to support the ministry well. Total donations received at 06/30/17 in support of project envision are $2,023,793. 99 which is comprised of pledge payments of $280,499. 71, unrestricted bequests of $1,280,211. 23 and restricted contributions of $463,083. 05. This year, $719,000 of charity care was provided in enhanced living, and $2,786,000 was provided in nursing. Another enthusiastic group on the campus is the messiah village auxiliary. For many years, the auxiliary has generously supported the endowment fund by donating to annual appeal efforts and by donating money from their gift shop and coffee shop sales, quilt sales, and clothing sales to support benevolent care. Behind the scenes, auxiliary members serve quietly but confidently, knowing that their efforts make a difference to this community. Volunteers also have an important role in enhancing life on the messiah village campus. From transporting residents to rehab and salon appointments, to planting flowers and pet visits, volunteers' generosity of giving time and talent impact nearly every aspect of life at messiah village. This year, 477 volunteers gave 32,213 hours of service to messiah village. Based on the bureau of labor and statistics figures, volunteers provided $688,069 worth of service. One of the most notable ways in which messiah village enhances the lives of its residents in residential living is through the pathways institute for lifelong learning. The pathways institute provides residents and community members with opportunities to engage in mental, cultural and spiritual activities promoting their overall wellness. In the fall of 2016, 260 older adults registered for programs participating. A total of 38 courses were offered. The spring 2017 semester brought 47 courses with 245 total registrants. The main theme of campus life at messiah village has been construction! The new greenwood and engle nursing neighborhoods will be complete in late july 2017.
