Jenkins Pine Haven Christian Home Marks 55 Years of Serving Sheboygan County Sheboygan Falls, WI -- This year Pine Haven Christian Home commemorates 55 years of providing quality, Christian care for seniors in Sheboygan County. A series of events marking important dates in Pine Haven’s history are planned for throughout the year. Pine Haven was founded in response to a growing need for senior care after World War II. When the 13 representatives from area churches signed the articles of incorporation for “Christian Home Inc.” on March 10, 1950, Pine Haven became the first, church-related benevolent institution in Sheboygan County. To commemorate that date, Pine Haven will host two events; a fellowship meal for present and past supporters on March 10 and a brat fry for the public on March 11. The Pine Haven Family Celebration on Thursday, March 10 will include current and past board members, volunteers, and staff members who have worked together to build Pine Haven into a quality senior care facility that today serves 210 residents. The current board of directors and Pine Haven management team will prepare and serve a potluck supper. A brief program celebrating the past and a look toward the future will follow. On Friday, March 11, the public is invited to a brat fry from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the front yard of Pine Haven at 531 Giddings Avenue in Sheboygan Falls. Brats and burgers, chips and soda will be for sale. The proceeds will go to the Back The Bus campaign, which was recently launched by Pine Haven to raise funds to purchase a mini-bus to transport residents to medical appointments and community activities. “When Jacob Clicquennoi contributed the original $50,000 seed money to begin Pine Haven, he probably didn’t know how many lives would be touched,” said Vicky Hildebrandt, Director of Resource Development. “Our fundraising campaign to set up a bus transport service will provide greater freedom and flexibility for current and future residents and continues the tradition of support for seniors.” “We want to involve the community as a whole and everyone who has been associated with Pine Haven in celebrating our successful past and exciting future,” explains Linda Fickett, Director of Housing Services. For more information about the upcoming March events call Linda Fickett at 467-2401, ext. 106. Pine Haven Christian Home was opened in 1950 and expanded in 1992 to the current size of 71 residents in the nursing home wing and 136 rooms in the residential center wing. While supported by eighteen local churches, residents of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome. Pine Haven’s mission is to provide quality, compassionate care in a Christian environment.
