Support Selfhelp's Campaign

Selfhelp Community Services, Inc. began a $12 million capacity-building campaign in 2003 to support our work for the community we have served for generations and to prepare for those who will look to us in the future.

The campaign will allow us to honor our commitment to victims of Nazi persecution and to enhance the lives of thousands of elderly men and women who rely on our home care, social service, and senior housing programs. This campaign will provide us with the funds we need to enhance the delivery of our services, improve our facilities, and sustain the excellence of our programs. To view the Fund Fact Sheets you will need Acrobat Reader, which you can download here (it s free).

The campaign encompasses four major funding areas:
