November 21, 2025Dear Family & Friends,As the most joyful time of the year approaches I find myself reflecting on dreams. One of mine was to completely remodel Kambly. Giving the best home possible to our Kambly family. We are almost finished. Common areas are completed: flooring, furniture, painting and also a new kitchen is beginning to take shape. Kambly is extremely blessed to have people like yourself who havefaithfully supported our mission of providing top quality care and a one-of-a-kind beautiful home.
Everyone has dreams big and small – including our residents. While we protect, care for andsupport our residents on a daily basis we also try to make a dream or two come true. We needyour help to accomplish this. We are beginning to update and decorate each resident bedroom totheir liking. The residents share a lot of areas in our home but their bedroom is the space that istheir own. We want that to reflect the things they like and that bring them comfort and joy.I want you to know that without your help and generosity none of these wonderful dreams wouldbe realized.
Take Brian for instance. Brian has been a resident with Kambly for 46 years. He has a part timejob and prides himself on being a good employee. We are extremely proud of him too! Brian hasdreamed of having his room done in University of Michigan décor and a smart TV. We camethrough. His room was painted, furniture replaced, new bedding and wall décor and yes, thesmart TV too! This bedroom remodel was so much more than that. It gave Brian such a feeling ofpride & happiness that he assisted in decorating his bedroom that expresses his love of theMichigan Wolverines. A dream that may seem small to you and me but was life changing for Brian.
We are honored and proud to be a part of the Kambly family Legacy – making dreams come truefor all who are a part of it! We know you are too!Happy Holidays from our home to yours!

FOOD BANK CHALLENGE
April - May
April 1, 2022
Thank you for your past support of Kambly and the Food Bank of South-Central Michigan with your participation in the Food Bank Challenge!
As a non-profit organization, Kambly Living Center has the privilege of being able to utilize the services of the Food Bank of South-Central Michigan. The Food Bank is conveniently located in the Industrial Park right here in Battle Creek and is part of Feeding America and the Food Bank Council of Michigan, making national and state food resources available to us for a small fee. With the help of donors and volunteers, the Food Bank provides a wonderful, essential service to our food service program.
We need your support again this year in meeting the Food Bank Challenge. This is the LAST year for the 10% match. In the future, you are still welcome and encouraged to donate to Kambly’s account but the 10% match will no longer be a benefit. That is why this is a crucial last chance to help us obtain matching dollars. The donated monies do not have an expiration date and will remain in our account until we use them. We have participated in this program for the last six years and it has been a huge benefit to our organization.
This is a national challenge, to fight hunger and provide nutritious food at drastically reduced prices. However, from April 1 – to May 31 for every donation made to our agency's account at the Food Bank, the Food Bank will credit our account by an additional 10%. It's the most effective and efficient means to make a monetary contribution to Kambly's food program. Last year Kambly received record donations in the amount of $8,663.16 which translated into thousands of dollars of food and supplies; this was a huge boost to our food budget.
Please remember, you must make your contribution between April 1 – and May 31 in order to be eligible for the Food Bank Challenge and for Kambly to receive the 10% match. Thank you again for your past support of this program and for all you do to help our organization.
Please click on the donate now button below to help Kambly.
IMPORTANT: When donating online you must leave this message in the leave a comment field, Kambly Agency Number A-1295. This will ensure Kambly receives your donation.
Sincerely,
Connie Hawthorne
