Welcome to McKendree United Methodist Church

The Wesley Woods Mother’s Day Offering provides charitable financial assistance, pastoral care, and wellness programming to older adults living in Wesley Woods communities.

Support is provided to residents in need of financial assistance to remain in their Wesley Woods homes. A robust wellness program includes fitness classes and on-site nurses to enhance the well-being of residents, enabling them to live independently longer. Wesley Woods chaplains provide ministry through personal visits, pastoral support, Bible study, and worship.

Help create hope and spread joy with a gift to Wesley Woods. You may give online directly to Wesley Woods HERE! or through McKendree GIVE/PAY. Thank you for helping to ensure that seniors living at Wesley Woods continue to thrive.
