Since its inception, Baptist Homes & Healthcare Ministries (BHHM) has been supported by donors who believe in caring for the aged. In 1913, Dr. Milford Riggs appealed for donations of “food jars” to feed the residents. History reveals that on many occasions if it had not been for the arrival of food deliveries on the Missouri-Pacific rail line, the Home would have had to close. Donor support has been a blessing throughout Baptist Homes’ history.
BHHM is still receiving financial gifts from donors that sustain the ongoing mission of Christlike care for our residents. Let’s explore the donation methods.
One-Time Donations
One-time donations can be made by:
- Cash or check
This has the most immediate impact on Baptist Homes’ mission. It’s a simple process that qualifies as a full tax deduction in the current year.
- Online giving
This is a convenient and quick giving option via the BHHM website (https://give.bhhm.org/checkout/25763 ) BHHM provides secure electronic transaction processing that gives an immediate gift receipt for personal giving records.
- Special event contributions
Baptist Homes creates events for fellowship and engagement with the Baptist Homes community. In 2025, save the date for the Baptist Homes of Ashland Golf Tournament on June 23 at Tanglewood Golf Course, Fulton, MO. (Insert link to the promotion and registration page.) The Baptist Homes of Arcadia Valley Fall Festival offers crafts, music, and fun during autumn colors of Iron County in September. More info to come.
Recurring Giving
Recurring giving is made via monthly or quarterly donations for the donor’s ease and predictability. A plan can be arranged to donate via mail or electronically through the Baptist Homes website. Donors can arrange donations through automatic bank transfers.
Next month, we’ll review donation methods to BHHM through planned giving. If you have questions, call 573-822-4319, or email me at ndavis@bhhm.org.
