Nazareth Home
An anonymous donor established the Olga & Robert Brinkman Endowment Fund to support the mission of Nazareth Home. This same donor offered a matching opportunity to donors whereby each dollar contributed would be matched by three dollars. The Nazareth Home, established in 1993 is a licensed foster home which accommodates up to six children from infancy through age five. All of the children are medically compromised and are placed by the Lake County Department of Children and Family Services until they are able to be reunited with their families, adopted or reach the age where they need to be placed in another long-term foster home.
