of Directors and Officers are a group of volunteers from many towns,

its own local fund raising, and supports the work of Habitat International
in other countries with a tithe of 10% of funds raised, unless requested
to keep all of a donation in the county.

Williamson and Lyons.
Our current building projects are: 2 in Sodus, both enclosed for cold

Heritage Christian
Home is a non-profit agency serving over 1,000 men, women and children
with developmental disabilities such as mental retardation, cerebral
palsy, autism, and Down syndrome through quality residential services, day
programs and community services.
History:
Heritage Christian Home was founded in 1980 by parents of children with
special needs. Their dream was to develop and operate homes with a loving
and supportive Christian environment. They opened their first home in 1984
in Rochester. Heritage Christian Home’s presence in the Buffalo Niagara
region resulted from a partnership with the Faith Foundation; a foundation
committed to providing residential services to those with special needs in
the Buffalo area. The Faith Foundation has since dissolved, however,
support from its members enabled HCH to open its first area home and
continues today. Today, Heritage Christian Home operates 42 homes
throughout Erie, Niagara and Monroe counties. In addition, we provide
meaningful day habilitation programs, community and clinical services.

We
are a growing group of local citizens who believe in the dignity and value
of every person. United in our desire to provide hospice-based care in our
community, our role is a privileged one. We believe in individualized care
to accommodate the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of the
homes residents. We wish to embrace their family and friends with love and
support that would continue through the grieving process. Partnering with
local hospice agencies, we will provide complete, comprehensive,
around-the-clock care. Volunteers fill the most critical role, one that
does not require a degree or a diploma, but does require compassion and
understanding. If you would like to read more about volunteer roles,
please click the link to the left entitled, "Volunteers".
To
date, numerous organizations and churches have allowed us to present
Webster Comfort Care to their perspective groups. As a result, many
individuals, groups and companies have stepped forward to assume volunteer
roles and assist in fund-raising. Please see "Our
Supporters" from the main menu to view some of these wonderful
community-oriented Webster Comfort Care supporters.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors
The Community Chest, a
55-year-old organization, is still helping our neighbors in the greater
Webster community with the generous help of our residents. Each year the
needs of our neighbors are different, but we are always ready as an
organization to provide different resources through our Benefits Counselor
Mary Ellen McDowell. Neighbors helping Neighbors, the theme of the
Community Chest campaign, rings clear each year as your donations make it
possible to help someone buy medicine, help with car repairs, or pay rent
when an unexpected emergency happens.
Each year the greater Webster
community is generous, with businesses, individuals, and school personnel
helping us raise $60,000 in donations to help others. The Board of
Directors of the Community Chest meets monthly and considers Aid to
Organizations as well as Aid to Individuals. The pie chart will give you
an idea of how the community Chest donations are allocated.
How We Carry Out Our Mission
We carry out our mission by
utilizing the energy and good will of many Webster residents to serve our
neighbors who need a helping hand. Volunteers from schools, churches, and
businesses give time, food and money to help the Community Chest. The
Chest raises money through a campaign in the Fall and we then are able to
use some of the money to help organizations who may request a helping hand
for a project that helps to serve and strengthen our community.
