During Black History Month, Givens Aldersgate honors the remarkable contributions, resilience, and leadership of Black Americans.

The heartbeat of this senior living community is found in the extraordinary residents who shape lives through kindness, leadership and connection. Among those remarkable individuals is Grace Perry, a woman admired for her service, her spirit, and the warmth she shares with everyone around her.

A dedicated member of the Givens Aldersgate Philanthropy Committee, she has served for several years in a flexible, as needed capacity, stepping in whenever her planning skills, insight, and leadership are most valuable. This past year, Grace took on the significant task of spearheading the Angel Tree Fund, a program that supports residents who have outlived their financial means.

Through her thoughtful coordination and tireless effort, thousands of dollars were raised from more than 100 generous donors. Thanks to Grace’s leadership, residents in need can continue to live safely and comfortably right here in their homes. She will continue to guide volunteers and work groups for at least another year, ensuring this vital support continues.

If Grace’s story inspires you and you would like to support the Resident Assistance Ministry, you are warmly invited to make a gift. You can donate directly here. Read Grace’s full story here.
