The Abraham House

Welcome

Abraham House is rooted in the philosophy that we provide our guests with a secure, loving environment while providing physical care as well as emotional and spiritual support for the terminally ill in our community at absolutely no cost to the guest or their family.

From the Executive Director

I am honored to be the Executive Director of Abraham House. It is a privilege to be connected with so many wonderful volunteers and staff who give of themselves everyday to the mission of Abraham House. We have a sacred mission at Abraham House and we will always be mindful of this.

I want to thank all of you who have supported Abraham House in the past and will continue to support us. Your support ensures our ability to provide a loving home free of charge to the terminally ill in our community. Working together we can continue our sacred mission.

What I have been so impressed with since I have been at Abraham House is the generosity of this community. Whenever we had a need, there was always someone who was willing to help us out. I am humbled by all of your generosity.

Abraham House has some wonderful fundraisers to help ensure that we continue to provide this valuable service to our community. Please come join us for our Third Annual March Meatball Madness which will be held on Sunday, March 4^th from Noon – 3 p.m. at the Blue Flag Room at the Hotel Utica, 102 Lafayette Street. New this year is a Meatball Eating Contest with a $200 prize, trophy and bragging rights. For more information about March Meatball Madness and/or a Meatball Eating Contest application see "News" Tab on this website under "2012 March Meatball Madness Flyer, Meatball Eating Contest Rules, Entry Form, Pledge Form". Thank you for your support. Please do not hesitate to call me at 315-733-8210 with any questions or if interested in volunteering with Abraham House.

Why do we do what we do at Abraham House?

To give our guests and family members a secure, compassionate and loving home.
To allow wives to be wives, sons to be sons and let us be the caregivers.
To provide 24 hour surrogate caregivers for the people who are no longer safe to be home alone.
To give families peace of mind that their loved ones are well cared for in a safe home.
Because it is the right thing to do to provide dignity and care to someone who is dying.
