The Benedictine Living Community in Crookston will again be participating in Giving Hearts Day on February 10, 2022. To show their support of the care and services that the Benedictine Living Community provides to the population of the community and region, American Crystal Sugar has proudly awarded the Benedictine Living Community Foundation a check for $5,000.
Cindy Hulst, the Benedictine Living Community’s Foundation Development Director stated. “This very generous gift from American Crystal is so appreciated, and so timely! It helps us with the required Giving Hearts Day local challenge/local match obligation. And more importantly, it will facilitate the purchase of much-needed new beds/mattresses in Skilled Nursing Care and new mailboxes in Assisted Living. Thank you, American Crystal Sugar.”
The Benedictine Living Community is a non-profit health care facility owned and operated by Benedictine. The primary clients served are people of the Crookston community and surrounding area. The Benedictine Living Community is able to care for 80 extended stay skilled nursing residents, 20 short-term care and rehabilitation residents, 24 memory care residents, 53+ assisted living tenants, and 20+ home care recipients.
With the impacts and strains of COVID-19, this grant money will help to make the lives of their residents and tenants more comfortable and safer.
