Monetary Gifts and Donations

• Harbor View House Fund - This fund was established to receive monetary gifts and donations. Your donated funds can be used for residents to obtain supportive healthcare services from podiatrists, optometrists and dentists, as well as to provide interim expenses for personal products such as undergarments, socks, shoes and for resident activities.
• Living Museum Art Center Calendar Sponsorships - Each year we publish a beautiful calendar featuring the artwork of our talented Harbor View House community members. By sponsoring a page, many organizations and individuals help us support our on-going efforts designed to encourage creative expression within our community while improving public awareness of the social challenges and possibilities confronting adults suffering from mental illness.
• Living Museum Art Center Calendar Purchase - Through donations and calendar purchases, we are able to supplement a variety of therapies incorporating the arts. Our calendars make wonderful gifts and will be available by early November 2009.
• Specific Program Sponsorships - Harbor View House is composed of many programs designed to serve both our residents and the community. You can follow your passion by contributing to the programs of your choice. For a complete list of options, please visit our Contribute Page »
