Shoreview, Minn., July 26, 2022 — Ecumen, a nonprofit senior living organization, is always looking for ways to support its team members and those it serves through donations. Sometimes, those donations have a very special meaning, and in this case, it was one of Ecumen’s very own team members who found a way to serve her own family and Ecumen communities at the same time.

Mel Sullivan, Ecumen’s Senior Vice President, and Chief People Officer made a donation to Ecumen Lakeview Commons in Maplewood, Minn., and Ecumen Oaks & Pines in Hutchinson, Minn., in a way that empowered our team members and honored a beloved family friend. Sullivan’s close family friend was diagnosed with cancer, and during her battle, she made hats to donate to an organization after she beat cancer. Along with the many hats, she also had supplies that would offer someone else the opportunity to create hats. Sadly, she died before having the chance to designate an organization.

As time went by, Sullivan found herself with these hats and supplies not knowing what to do with them. She connected with the life enrichment managers at Ecumen Lakeview Commons and Ecumen Oaks & Pines, and immediately, these two innovative team members (Jen Rasmussen and Melanie Zelm) knew exactly how to put these donations to good use.

The warm heads and happy faces at Ecumen communities were a testament to this gift and a special way to honor Sullivan’s family friend. “Being able to honor my friend while working with grateful and responsive team members and giving back to those we serve is just one reason why I stay with Ecumen,” Sullivan said.

When you give to Ecumen, your support helps to further our mission to provide housing services, compassionate care and innovative services to the people we serve. Consider a gift today by visiting ecumen.org/give-now.
