Working at Covenant Living is more than just a job—it’s a passion shared by our staff, and giving back is at the heart of what we do.
Here’s what an employee at Covenant Living of the Great Lakes has to say about why he donates:
“Every day at work, I hear incredible stories from our residents about the amazing things they’ve accomplished throughout their lives. It’s inspiring to learn about all the extraordinary experiences they’ve had. These stories remind me just how important it is for our residents to feel comfortable and worry-free as they enjoy their twilight years. That’s why I believe it’s essential to ensure they never have to worry about whether they can afford to stay here, whether it’s 5, 10, or even 20 years down the road. They’re all like grandparents to me—I can’t imagine any of them having to leave because of financial concerns outside of their control.”

For the past seven years, Covenant Living at the Samarkand’s Facilities Management team has come together to give back in a big way! What started as a simple act of generosity has grown into a heartfelt tradition, with team members organizing raffles, sales, and auctions to support Benevolent Care. Thanks to their dedication, they have raised $19,694 since 2017, and have enabled Samarkand to receive an additional $29,375 in matching funds! From baking homemade treats to donating auction items, everyone plays a part in making a difference for our residents.
