Dementia Journey

Meeting dementia with patience

When a resident living with dementia becomes agitated or afraid, a caregiver trained to recognize what’s underneath it can respond with patience instead of guesswork. Your gift toward our $20,050 goal brings Dementia Journey training to our team, including hands-on kits, two staff certified as in-house trainers, and 3 years of program licensing.

FAQ’s

Can I designate my gift to a specific area?

What if I want to make a larger gift or include Menno Place in my estate plans?

We’d love to talk with you about that. Planned gifts and major gifts make a lasting difference to the seniors in our care. Please email our Advancement team or phone 604.851.3102 — we’d be honoured to help you find the right fit.

Will I receive a tax receipt?

Yes. Donations of $20 or more are eligible for an official charitable tax receipt, issued by the Mennonite Benevolent Society, a registered Canadian charity. Your receipt will be emailed to the address you provide at checkout.

What are my options for giving offline?

If you prefer to give by cheque or through a paper form, you can download our donation form and mail it to us at Menno Place, 32945 Marshall Road, Abbotsford, BC V2S 1K1. You can also email our Advancement team or phone 604.851.3102.

Can I give monthly?

What is the Mennonite Benevolent Society (MBS)?

MBS is the registered Canadian charity that governs and operates Menno Place. Founded in 1953, it is the legal entity that issues tax receipts and oversees the stewardship of all donations made to Menno Place. When you give to Menno Place, your gift flows through MBS.

I have questions — who can I speak with?

We’re happy to help. Email our Advancement team or phone 604.851.3102 and someone will get back to you personally.

Above all other things, make love your aim.

Receipt of and spending of donations is confined to Board approved programs and projects. If, in the opinion of MBS, it should become no longer practical or possible to use this gift for a purpose specified or restricted by the donor (for example, if the program to which it relates is restructured, oversubscribed, or discontinued), MBS will redirect the gift to another purpose where it is most needed, as determined by Board in its discretion.
