Hello Friends!

As the leaves begin to fall, we are reminded of the beauty of transition and the opportunities that arise in times of change. This year has been a season of exploration for the Thompson Center on Lourdes, as we continue to grow and plan for our future to meet the needs of our community. Thanks to the generous support of people like you, we’ve embraced new programs, expanded services, and welcomed over 1,000 new participants.

This fall, we have a special reason to express our gratitude. We received a matching grant opportunity from the “Gillen Family Fund” and the “Les and Dolores Ellis Memorial Fund” within the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region. Every dollar you donate will be matched, up to $15,000—doubling the impact of your gift and allowing us to continue making a profound difference in the lives of older adults. Your gift today will ensure that the Thompson Center remains a place where seniors can continue to explore their passions, build meaningful relationships, and enjoy a vibrant community.

We invite you to be part of this season of giving and growth. This is a crucial time for us, as we prepare to move into our long-term sustainable location in 2025, and your support will help us ensure no one loses access to the services they need. Every contribution, large or small, lifts the Thompson Center and the seniors we serve.

Please consider a year-end gift today.
