Care for the Caregiver

Vincentian Collaborative System has been caring for Pittsburghers since 1924 and is now asking Pittsburghers to help us show support to our healthcare heroes.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted everyone’s daily life, but nowhere is that more apparent than in our long-term care facilities where elderly residents, with the highest risk of infection, are receiving round-the-clock care from dedicated caregivers. Taking on extra shifts and additional time away from their own families, the 650 healthcare heroes across the Vincentian system are there to hold a hand and spend time with someone whose family cannot visit for fear of spreading the contagion.

While we can never fully express our gratitude to those who are on the front lines of this pandemic, the Care for the Caregiver campaign has been created to help alleviate the stresses to nursing, housekeeping, dietary, maintenance, activity, and social service staff who are giving so much to others in these difficult times.

How can you help?

Provide food security or transportation with a gift that can be used for caregiver meals, groceries or gasoline.

Increase donations by creating a fundraising page to ask your friends, family, coworkers, etc. to support you in raising funds for our caregivers.

Can we count on you, your friends, your family, your business, or your church to Care for the Caregivers who make every day better than the last for the 2,000 elderly residents in Vincentian’s care every year?

Please show you care. Your gift and others have never been as mission critical as now.
