Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Enter his gates with thanksgiving (Psalm 100:1, 4).
As we come to the end of 2025, Baptist Homes joins the psalmist in making a joyful noise of thanksgiving to the Lord! Here are a few of the things that God’s faithfulness has brought us to celebrate.
Celebrating God’s Provision
- Baptist Homes of Ashland is now open for assisted living. Final steps for skilled nursing care are underway. There are financial needs for this campus that might fit your end-of-the-year charitable giving. Please contact Nick Davis to learn more.
- Critical needs are being met on all our campuses. The biggest are roofing needs on all our campuses.
- Baptist Homes of Smithville prepares to provide assisted living care to veterans in early 2026.
Join Our Thanksgiving
Your year-end gifts can amplify our joyful noise to the Lord. You might consider giving a gift in the following ways:
- Cash – For charitable gift recognition in 2025, donations must be received on or before December 31, 2025.
- IRA Charitable Rollovers – These often have specific timing requirements to be completed before the end of the year. Check with your financial advisor for details.
- Employer Matching Gifts – Many companies offer matching gifts for an employee’s monetary donation to a nonprofit organization. Companies design these programs to support charities that their employees are passionate about.
- Appreciated Securities – By donating your stocks or securities directly to Baptist Homes, you avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation. If you were to sell the stock first and then donate the cash proceeds, you would have to pay taxes on the profit and there would be less of a gift for Baptist Homes.
- Gifts of Donor-Advised Funds
To discuss how you can partner in our ministry of care or for explanation of the above gifts, please contact Nick Davis at ndavis@bhhm.org or 573-822-4319.
