Vindobona Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a skilled nursing community offering short-term rehab and long-term care services located in Braddock Heights, Maryland. To learn more about Vindobona click on their logo above to be redirected to their website home page.
​
Why Vindobona? The facility itself may not fall under our direct mission, but like St. Nicholas himself, our project saw a great need in its residents and knew we had to help.
​
Our partnership began 20 years ago when the children's choral group of Holy Family Catholic Community Church would visit and sing carols for the residents of the Vindobona Nursing & Rehabilitation Center at Christmastime. During those visits, the Vindobona Activities Director shared how important visits like the choral group was for its residents. That although some of the residents had family local to the area, many residents do not receive visitors or even gifts during the holidays.
Knowing the impact many of its residents had made over their lifetime to the local community and serving our country, we knew we had to help. It started with a couple bags full of donated black and white movies to expand the resident's viewing collection to creating a giving tree ornament of wish list items for each resident to receive a gift.
Help ensure all of Vindobona's residents receive a gift to brighten their holiday season knowing they are remembered and appreciated by clicking on the sign-up link below to select an individual resident giving tree ornament.
**ALL SIGN-UP SLOTS HAVE BEEN FILLED - THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!**
