The Kindred Spirit
In living up to our mission of providing hope and
preserving dignity, Kindred fosters a spirit of giving back – both to our
employees in need and the communities we serve.
Giving Hope to Each Other
An essential part of the Kindred mission is that we also take care of each
other. While life is never easy, some situations are more difficult than
others. At these times, maintaining hope can become a daily challenge for our
employees and their families. It is specifically for this reason that The HOPE
Fund (Helping Others Persevere through Emergencies), a 501(c)(3), was created
to assist Kindred employees facing catastrophic life events that challenge
their hope.
Since 2005, over $2.5 million has been donated to assist employees struggling through
seemingly insurmountable difficulties such as deaths, terminal illness and
devastating weather events such as floods, hurricanes and wildfires. In all, we
have helped more than 1,800 employees.
Giving Back to the Community
Our commitment to our patients and residents extends to helping raise money to
fight the diseases that most affect them and their loved ones. We help enhance
local community fundraising by matching donations raised by our employees.
Through the Kindred Foundation, a 501(c)(3), we have created strong national
and regional partnerships with the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Heart
Association and the American Lung Association.
Since 2005, Kindred and our employees have contributed over $2.8 million to the
Alzheimer’s Association through participation in the organization’s national
Memory Walk. Each year, about 3,500 employees participate in more than 100
walks across the United States.
