Maria Center, a ministry sponsored by the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, welcomed friends and supporters for its first annual High Tea Fundraiser.
Held on the grounds of The Center at Donaldson, the event brought together guests from the surrounding community along with Maria Center residents and several Poor Handmaid Sisters. Guests enjoyed an elegant tea service complete with a variety of teas, sweet treats, and the opportunity to gather in fellowship while learning more about Maria Center’s mission.
The event featured 18 themed raffle baskets, each generously filled with thoughtful items donated by the community and our partners. Laughter, conversation, and connection filled Cana Hall and reflected the spirit of hospitality that defines Maria Center and the broader mission of the Poor Handmaids.
Maria Center offers intendent senior living in a faith-filled, supportive environment where residents are encouraged to live with dignity and joy. Proceeds from the High Tea will help sustain the programs and services that enrich the lives of residents every day, from transportation support and wellness checks to social activities and spiritual care.
The team at Maria Center looks forward to making the High Tea an annual tradition and continuing to build a community where faith and care flourish.
