Help Us Furnish A Home!

In the fall of 2011 Vantage Health System will be opening Van Sciver Supportive Housing, a 16 efficiency residence in Closter, NJ. This facility will become a permanent home for individuals with mental illness. Some of these individuals are homeless and will now have a clean and safe place to call their own. They come to us with only the clothes on their backs and a few personal belongings.

Although Vantage was awarded the funding for construction and basic furniture, we need your help to provide the items that will contribute to making each unit a real home. Sheets to line a bed and blankets for warmth; pots and pans to prepare a home cooked meal and soft towels to dry off after a warm shower are just a few of the items we can provide with your help. To the right you will find gift suggestions, and below naming opportunities that are currently available.

Please know that your help will greatly enrich someone's life and give them the chance to experience something that we often take for granted: a warm, inviting place to call home.

For more information on supporting Van Sciver, download the Supportive Housing Brochure (pdf/500kb). You can also make a secure donation via paypal online. Thank you for your support.

PLEASE HELP US “CHANGE A LIFE”!

We’ve set up a (wedding) registry at Macy’s. You can shop in-store or online, where your coupons are also accepted. We are listed as: First name: Charity, last name: Vantage Health.

Grantwood Congregational Church donates $75,000 to Vantage Health System

In a bittersweet gesture, the Osusky family, representing the Board of Trustees of the Grantwood Congregational Church, donated $75,000 to Vantage Health System's Program and Facility Development Fund. Sadly, for economic reasons, the Church, located in Cliffside Park, was forced to close after 104 years of serving the community. The Church was sold and the proceeds of the sale were donated to charities. Vantage Health System is a grateful recipient. Members of the Grantwood Congregational Church have joined their sister church, Morsemere Community Church in Ridgefield.

"This is the largest single private donation that Vantage has ever received", said Vicki Sidrow, President and CEO of Vantage. "Just saying "thank you" seems inadequate. We are truly overwhelmed, touched and so grateful to be the recipients of such a generous gift. The funds will be used as needed to upgrade facilities or seed new programs. Some of the funds will also be used to provide much needed socialization activities for individuals in our programs. Vantage is honored and thankful that the church trustees have chosen to share their assets to assist individuals with mental illness. Everyone is thrilled!"

Diane Osusky, Secretary, Grantwood Congregational Church, thanked the staff at Vantage for all they have done for her sister who lives in one of Vantage's homes and attends the Dumont Recovery Center. "When my sister came to Vantage two years ago she was very ill. Today, she is a different and healthier person thanks to all the work, commitment and passion of the staff. We are grateful that such services exist here in Bergen County and are pleased to be able to make this contribution."
