The Apostolic Christian Village would like to thank our generous donors and dedicated volunteers who have blessed our campus in so many ways-and to those who made the Aspen Square expansion possible. Because of your kindness, we are able to continue investing in the Apostolic Christian Village campus, enhancing common areas and updating resident rooms for the benefit of all of our residents, their families, and our staff. We invite you to visit the campus anytime and see what's new! And if you haven't already, please consider a Giving Tuesday contribution! Every dollar donated helps the Apostolic Christian Village continue its mission of serving others with Christ-like Compassion. 

You may remember that for the last seven years, LifePoints has participated in #GivingTuesday, a global movement where millions come together to support the causes they believe in. It serves as a way to kick off the season of giving with a day dedicated to giving back. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 2!

This year, we’re raising funds for a complete kitchen renovation at Oakwood Estate! Our fundraising goal is $120,000, and we will be tracking the donations with a growing stack of plates throughout the day - 1 plate will represent $1,000 donated towards the the renovation! Our friends at Oakwood have been using the same kitchen since we opened it on August 8, 1988, so they can’t wait for the refresh!

Our #GivingTuesday Kitchen Fundraiser starts on Tuesday, December 2. If you want to contribute, you can donate on our website   (just make sure you note that your donation is for the “Kitchen” in the Special Instructions) or with a check mailed to 2073 Veterans Road, Morton, IL 61550. Thanks for the support, and we will keep you updated with the fundraising results!
