Regardless of the means you choose, you can be assured your gift will enhance WesleyLife's mission of supporting the independence, health and well-being of older adults, wherever they call home.

The promise began with WesleyLife's inception in 1947. Since then, we've assured our residents that if they deplete their financial resources through no fault of their own, they will never be asked to leave their homes with us, or experience a reduction in the degree of care they receive.
Supported solely by donations, the WesleyLife Promise is funded by each community's Good Samaritan or Good Shepherd fund. Neighbors helping neighbors; that's what being a Good Samaritan is all about.
Please consider donating to the Good Samaritan/Good Shepherd fund at the community of your choice to help keep residents safe and healthy at home. Whether you are giving for the first time or have supported these funds previously, we appreciate your compassion and generosity!
Every day, WesleyLife delivers hot, healthy meals to about 1,000 older adults and military veterans of all ages in Central Iowa. In addition to delivering a meal, drivers also perform a daily safety check and are often the only human interaction participants have during the day.
