"May we ask for your assistance in our endeavor to add sunshine to the lives of those whom we are trying to help?" --Dr. Jennie Schofield
In the early 1900's, Dr. Jennie Schofield began her service to the community by lending wheelchairs to individuals in the community who could not afford to buy them. With help from a group of dedicated volunteers, she raised funds to begin the work of the Wheel Chair Guild, and in 1910 founded the Wheel Chair Home.
Without those early financial supporters, the work we do today would not have been possible. Today, as a not-for-profit organization, Schofield still depends on the generosity of our friends, our neighbors and the family members of those we serve to help carry on Dr. Schofield's mission.
Funds raised by the Schofield Foundation are used to improve the quality of life for our residents, registrants and patients. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All gifts are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
There are many ways you can contribute to Schofield including a gift to our annual appeal, memorial gifts, or naming Schofield in your will.
Donation forms and envelopes are available by calling our Administration department at (716) 874-1566, extension 305. A printable form is also available by clicking here.
Schofield has a variety of methods to recognize and thank our financial contributors.
