Donations of goods and services help Wesbury direct scarce resources to areas of greatest need. These gifts may be used or sold to benefit The Wesbury Foundation. Donors who contribute goods or services valued at $500 or more during the calendar year. Please call The Foundation for more information.

Luminaries

On the second Friday of December, Wesbury places holiday luminaries around the campus as a symbol of the care, compassion and hope we all share. A candle is lit for each designated luminary gift made in memory or in honor of a loved one. Paper luminaries are hung in both Grace Rehabilitation and Health Center and Cribbs Residential Center during the month of December to commemorate these gifts. Luminary donations help support the Benevolent Care Fund and donors are eligible for membership in the Hyatt M. Cribbs Society. (Gifts may be made in any amount.)
