Support Us

There are countless ways to support our mission

At Pappus House. No matter your age, income, or talents, your contribution makes a meaningful difference. Every gift matters, and every act of participation helps provide comfort, dignity, and peace to those in their final days.

Your support enables us to provide warm, home-cooked meals that nourish both body and spirit, a cozy and welcoming space that feels like home, or specialized care that eases pain and brings peace of mind to residents and their families.

By joining our community of compassionate supporters, you help create a place where people feel valued and loved when it matters most. Together, we uplift one another and bring light and comfort to those who need it most. Your involvement, in any form, is a powerful gift that touches lives and fosters a legacy of kindness and compassion.

Gifts of stock and securities are also welcome and accepted. Please contact us at info@pappushouse.org for more information on how to transfer gifts of stock or to list Pappus House as a beneficiary of your charitable fund or IRA distribution.

Lanterns of Light

This beautiful community memorial event is held annually in October. Participants decorate and personalize floating lanterns that are launched on the pond at Cousler Park in York, a moving celebration of light and love. All proceeds from the event benefit our mission.

Garden Party

Join us for our annual garden party, our signature fundraising event to benefit Pappus House, held at a different venue each year. Ticket Sales and a Live & Silent Auction directly support our mission.
