With Gratitude: Thank You for Supporting Hearth This Giving Tuesday

As we reflect on Giving Tuesday, I want to extend my deepest and most sincere appreciation to every member of the Hearth community. Your generosity, compassion, and belief in our mission continue to sustain this work and bring hope to older adults who have experienced homelessness.

Giving Tuesday is always a meaningful moment for Hearth, because it represents something larger than a single day of giving. It represents a shared commitment across donors, partners, staff, volunteers, and friends, which ensures that every older adult has the safety, dignity, and stability of a permanent home. Your support this year reaffirmed that commitment in a powerful way.

Each gift we received helps us not only maintain the high-quality housing and supportive services our residents rely on, but also continue advocating for solutions that address the growing crisis of older adult homelessness. The need is increasing, but so is the strength of the community standing with us.

As we enter the final weeks of the year, finishing strong is essential. The resources we raise now directly impact our ability to meet rising housing costs, furnish new units for incoming residents, expand outreach efforts, and ensure that our staff can continue providing the compassionate, personalized care that defines Hearth.

If you’re looking for additional ways to support Hearth as the year closes, here are a few meaningful options:

• Make a year-end gift to help us meet urgent needs and prepare for a strong start to 2026.
  
• Set up a recurring monthly donation to create predictable, sustaining support we can rely on all year long.
  
• Utilize employer matching programs, which can often double or even triple your contribution.
  
• Support our Furnishing Fund, which helps provide essential items such as beds, linens, small appliances, and more, so new residents can move into a safe and fully prepared home.
  
• Share Hearth’s mission with your network, helping others learn about the growing crisis of older adult homelessness and what we can do together to address it.

No matter how you choose to support Hearth, please know that your involvement has a direct impact on someone’s life. It helps ensure that older adults who have endured unimaginable challenges can finally find a home, a community, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Thank you for walking alongside us, not just on Giving Tuesday, but each and every day. With your continued partnership, we can end older adult homelessness one person, one home, and one act of kindness at a time.

With gratitude,
Rhonda Pieroni
