James F. Will, Chairman of the Little Sisters of the
Poor Advisory Board, will welcome a distinguished group of community
leaders and benefactors to the Jeanne Jugan Pavilion at 1020 Benton
Avenue on Wednesday, October 10, 2007 at 4 p.m. to formally announce
their “The Campaign for Compassionate Care.
The Little Sisters of the Poor Home was in desperate need of expansion
and repair in order to continue to serve the aged poor, whose population
is increasing in the Pittsburgh area. To meet the growing demand for the
quality care provided by their Home, the Sisters have undertaken an
ambitious building project. The goal of this campaign is $15 million and
includes the construction of an apartment complex for low income
seniors, the renovation of the James P. Wall building that houses the
medical, therapeutic and social services for the Home, and the creation
of a senior center program.
Tours and a reception will complete the late afternoon gathering.
In 1872, the Pittsburgh community invited the Little Sisters of the Poor
to establish a home for the elderly poor in this city. The Little
Sisters of the Poor have responded to that need by caring for more than
12,000 aged poor regardless of race or religion.
