WEST BRANDYWINE, PA — Residents at Freedom Village at Brandywine raised funds in February through two resident-led initiatives to support employees and local nonprofit organizations, community officials said.
The community’s scholarship committee held a donut sale that sold 300 donuts and generated $800. According to the community, the proceeds will be used to fund scholarships awarded later this year to qualifying employees to support continuing education and professional development.
In a separate effort, the outreach committee hosted its annual bake sale, offering donated items including cupcakes, cookies and breakfast breads. The sale featured four tables of baked goods contributed by residents.
Funds from the bake sale will benefit eight organizations serving Coatesville and Chester County, including Youth Initiative of Coatesville, the Chester County Food Bank and Chester County Connect Care, according to the community.
Both committees are operated by residents.
“We are incredibly proud of our residents and their commitment to supporting our employees and investing in organizations that strengthen the greater Chester County community,” said Danielle Geyer, executive director of Freedom Village at Brandywine. “Giving back is at the heart of who we are, and February showcased that spirit in a meaningful way.”
Freedom Village at Brandywine is a continuing care retirement community in Pennsylvania managed by Life Care Services. The community provides independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing services.
