Caring for the Elderly throughout the world.
As Little Sisters of the Poor, we care for the elderly poor in the spirit of humble service that we have
recieved from Jeanne Jugan. We welcome the elderly as we would Jesus Christ himself and serve them with
love and respect until death. To learn more about the Congregation of the Little Sisters of the Poor

Because of the generosity of our benefactors, thousands of needy aged persons have received quality
care in a loving home-like atmosphere, where they can feel themselves esteemed and respected for the
contributions that they have made to society. Indeed, today a number of our Residents are persons
who were once in a position to help provide for the needs of others. Now, due to changes in our
economy and in their personal situations, they find themselves dependent on the kindness of others.
As we strive to provide a comfortable home for the elderly with limited resources, the Little Sisters
of the Poor are truly grateful to all who partner with them in creative ways to meet the needs of
the elderly. Initiatives include the Nun Run 5K and our Rock For The Aged event.
The Nun Run 5K raises funds for the Sisters to care for the needy aged in the Delmarva area, in the Jeanne Jugan Residence.
For over 100 years they have offered quality care in a loving home atmosphere to thousands of elderly persons of low
income. The 2011 race raised $12,000 which directly benefits our residents. Register Now
