All proceeds for the event Support Our Seniors in Need!!

Join us in supporting our three-year, 43-room upgrade project at The Retreat! Thanks to generous donors, over half the funds have been raised and 16 rooms completed, creating safer and more comfortable living spaces for residents.

Your gifts also make possible the Immanuel Living Connections Program, which has helped residents attend more than 50 community events across the Flathead Valley.

Next, we plan to renovate two outdoor courtyards and modernize the bathing suite at The Retreat—enhancing comfort for residents and efficiency for caregivers.

  • $25,000+ funds major courtyard or bathing suite upgrades

  • $15,000+ completes a full in-room renovation

  • $5,000+ connects residents to community events

  • $1,000+ provides wheelchairs, lift chairs, and essentials

Every donation, large or small, makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for helping our seniors live with dignity, comfort, and joy.
