Strengthening Foundations Home Renovation Campaign

 

Strengthening Foundations 

DONATE

At Barber National Institute, we know that a safe and welcoming home is the foundation of a thriving life. For our community group home residents, these foundations are more than just walls – they are the bedrock of comfort, independence and belonging. 

 

Across Pennsylvania, 303 adults live in 93 community group homes – 55 homes in Erie, 32 in Philadelphia and 6 in Pittsburgh. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to provide a supportive environment for residents who call our community group homes “home”. 

But, as with any home, time brings the natural need for updates. Our Strengthening Foundations campaign will renovate our community group homes throughout PA to improve safety, accessibility and comfort.  With your help, we can make these upgrades possible. 

 

Your gift to the $500,000 Strengthening Foundations campaign will enable us to: 

  • Remodel kitchens for daily use 
  • Replace carpet to make the home more inviting  
  • Replace roofs for safety 
  • Update bathrooms for comfort and functionality 
  • Add ramps to improve accessibility 

Please consider making a gift today to help us strengthen these foundations.  Every contribution – no matter the size- can make an immediate difference. With each enhancement, you’re helping us create spaces that not only support daily living but will help our residents gain independence, build friendships and work toward their personal goals for years to come. 

Donations can be made safely and securely online or you may contact Laura Schaaf, Barber National Institute director of giving at 814-874-5802 to learn more. 

Together, we can build a future where every resident has a safe, supportive place to call home. Thank you for making dreams come true, one home at a time. 

With warm regards, 

John Barber
