The Bethesda Foundation was organized in 1983 to provide benefits and resources to Bethesda Health & Housing and the community it serves. Our Mission Statement reads:

The Bethesda Foundation is committed to a Christian tradition of caring, and exists to help Bethesda serve the health and housing needs of primarily older adults.

Since that time, the Foundation has contributed in a number of ways to benefit the Willmar community and surrounding area.

 

The Bethesda Foundation is now accepting Online Donations!
