For years, Benedictine Living Community-Crookston has witnessed the generosity of the Crookston community in supporting the United Way. This past year, a gift was given to purchase eight wheelchairs and ten pressure-relieving wheelchair cushions. Physical Therapist Jennifer Tull states, “Thank you, United Way, and all who contribute! You keep making a difference for us. Updating our fleet of chairs to new models enhances safety and security as our team provides care and we live out our Mission to serve.”
An additional gift was received to help purchase a new “Fryer” for the kitchen. “Our old fryer has been churning out sides and treats for over 30 years. Our cooks love the ease of the new machine, and we can batch larger amounts, saving precious time. A new favorite is the egg rolls, and our French Fries are better than ever.” Notes Nicole Volker, Culinary Service Director.
“We want to call out how United Way of Crookston has gifted us time and again with impactful equipment and programming, including the animated pets that our Memory Care residents hold and love, blanket warmers, wheelchair scales, the low vision reading machine, the 360 Clorox sanitizing machine, the Benedictine Buggy and state of the art Vital Measuring Machines, plus much more.” Claimed Executive Director Lindsey Erdman, adding, “Thanks to the many businesses and people who give so generously to United Way of Crookston because you make a difference for us and so many in town.
