Friends of Timbercrest
The Timbercrest Auxiliary was formed in 1972 to serve the residents of Timbercrest. In 2003, the organization changed its name to Friends of Timbercrest. Members of the organization support Timbercrest's ministry with older adults in many ways.
In addition to giving of their time and energy, Friends of Timbercrest members have successfully completed numerous projects that include furnishings for the Snack Shop, Chapel and the Crestwood Living Center; Courtyard landscaping and gazebos; a handicapped accessible vehicle; several pieces of equipment for the Wellness Center; and a six passenger golf cart. Currently, Friends of Timbercrest is raising money to install automatic doors throughout the manor. This will allow residents with walkers and in wheelchairs easier access in and out of the building.
