Volunteer Opportunities Eskaton Foundation

You can help make a difference in the life of an older adult today.

The Eskaton Foundation was founded in 1989 and focuses on advancing Eskaton’s ability to provide accessible, innovative services for older adults. We nurture a philanthropic environment that fosters volunteer involvement, donor relations and stewardship through education.

Your gift today will ensure that we can continue to keep a 105-year-old in their home who has outlived their resources. Your gift will help an employee who has fallen on hard times and is grateful that the people they care for daily help ensure this program continues.

Guardian Angel Program

Many residents and their loved ones express their gratitude through smiles, letters of thanks or homemade treats. The Guardian Angel program at Eskaton offers yet another way for grateful residents and families to recognize Eskaton staff and volunteers who have made a difference in their lives. By choosing to recognize our staff, you are also making a meaningful impact on our ability to provide quality care.

A tax-deductible donation of any amount on behalf of a staff member or volunteer makes that person a Guardian Angel. All donations made to the Guardian Angel program stay within your Eskaton community for the use of employee appreciation.
