Chaplaincy Fund

I really enjoyed speaking to Gloria Koenning today. Her heart spills over into every aspect of her efforts *to help and serve others. She and her staff are the true personification of the pay it forward theorem. The staff is comprised of un-​paid volunteers.
The Chaplaincy Fund, Inc. is a non-​profit organization whose purpose is to provide financial resources for the Department of Chaplaincy and Pastoral Education at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, one of the nation’s premier cancer hospitals.
As part of M. D. Anderson’s mission of holistic patient care, the Chaplaincy department brings spiritual comfort and support to countless patients and family members who face the challenges of a life-​threatening disease. The chaplains and volunteers provide hope, care and love in a nondenominational setting.
To perpetuate the mission of caring, Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programs train new generations of lay and ordained ministers and seminary students. More than 200 CPE graduates now serve in congregational and institutional settings all over the world.
But none of this can happen without your help. The Chaplaincy Fund offers several giving opportunities, from donations to volunteering, so M. D. Anderson cancer patients can continue to be healed in spirit as well as in body. Help us ensure that there will be a chaplain for anyone who needs guidance in their time of greatest need.
