Friends of 700 Clark Street

Directions

Friends of 700 Clark Street We are the Friends of the Residents and Staff of 700 Clark Street, otherwise known as the “Friends of 700 Clark Street” for short.

Our group was founded in 2018 with a mission to protect monetary donations that had been gifted to the Good Samaritan Nursing home. After the building was sold to another entity, a group of dedicated people, like Patty Morter, wanted to ensure that those funds remained available to the residents and staff. The group went through the legal effort to become a 501c3 in 2019 to maintain as much of the money donated to provide the “More” to those living and working at 700 Clark Street. What’s the “More” you may be asking yourself. Well, the easy explanation is this. The Nursing Home provides all the necessary care to keep our residents safe and well cared for all, the while providing a continued sense of dignity. As the Friends of 700 Clark Street, we provide the “more” to enhance their lives on a daily basis. Since it’s founding, our group has provided things like an electronic therapy cat, a virtual reality headset, canopies for outdoor enjoyment, a snow cone and popcorn machine, thank you luncheons for the staff, bus rides for outings, a portable sound system, as well as an in-house Gift Shop, just to name a few.

I’m so honored to be part of a group whose sole purpose is to provide those extra touches—the “more”—for the residents and staff at 700 Clark Street.

Our most recent effort was an ambitious goal, but with the help of Josie and her staff, many generous donors, and a grant, we were able to purchase a wheelchair-accessible golf cart! Visit our page to see photos from the reveal party.

And we’re not stopping there. With your help, we can continue supporting the residents and staff at Dove Healthcare (Lodi). You’ll find our QR code on our cover photo. Don’t be surprised when it connects you to Givebutter—it’s a website that supports nonprofits like ours. When you click the QR code, it will take you directly to our webpage, and all donations come directly to Friends of 700 Clark Street.

Please consider us when making a donation. Thank you in advance for your support!

What a celebration!!! The golf cart reveal was a huge success. We had 3 local news channels, 3, 15 and 27 along with our local paper in attendance. Susie’s Sweet treats was there too. Watch out for the broadcasts, most likely tonight and tomorrow!

We couldn’t have done this without the support of so many generous donors! Thank you!

***UPDATE***

GOAL MET!!! The Rideabout has been ordered and is in the conversion process!! THANK YOU to everyone who donated to this very worthy cause! We can do great things with the help of our friends and community! Stay tuned for a delivery date.

Our next project will be wheelchair accessible planting gardens! Donations are always welcome!

Our group continues to work to provide the “More” for the Residents of 700 Clark Street, our local Nursing facility. My dear Friend Susie Wimmer had a dream a few years ago to provide a handicap accessible golf cart to enrich the lives of the Residents. Josie, the director of Activities at Dove Healthcare has led the charge along with support from our group doing what we can to fundraise. The Golf Cart is called a Rideabout, made by PHED Mobility out of Elkhart, IN. The residents had a meeting with Susie and came up with a name that speaks to what this golf cart will mean to them, “The Sights and Sounds of Freedom”.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we are pleased to report significant progress in reaching our goal to purchase a Rideabout. Currently, we are less than $2,000 from reaching our target of $23,000. Donations can be made to Friends of the Residents and Staff of 700 Clark Street. Please reach out to Susie Wimmer or myself if you are interested in helping us reach our goal.
