 Bishop Gadsden residents are recognized for their on- and off-campus volunteer efforts through the Bishop Gadsden Generous Spirit Program. This program provides the opportunity to involve Bishop Gadsden residents and staff in programs that affect the greater Charleston community and does not require monetary contributions. How the Generous Spirit Program Works: Individual Activities. Resident Generous Spirit Forms will be placed on the Activity Table for you to complete when volunteering in the community. A sample is on the other side and can be used either each time you volunteer or, if more convenient, on a monthly basis. These forms should be submitted to the Office of Development & Communications, where we will track, compile, and then publish the results in our Annual Reports. Bishop Gadsden Activities. In addition to your individual activities, Bishop Gadsden will sponsor joint volunteer activities. These activities may be off or on-campus, and residents are encouraged to bring volunteer ideas to the Office of Development & Communications. Staff may be able to earn time-off for volunteer activities, a benefit modeled after many other corporate giving programs. Through programs such as the Generous Spirit Program, we go out to the community, as much as people come in to ours. Community and church groups sponsor themed happy hours; visit with residents; host holiday parties; coordinate games and Bible studies; and help residents with shopping. We welcome performances from artistic and cultural groups. We also have internships for students interested in the geriatrics field; many of our interns become future employees. |
