Sixty Three Washington Street, a non-profit residential care home for six seniors in Camden, is seeking a special couple to live in and act as managers of the facility. Our church has had a long association with the home, having used a bequest to provide start up funds and forming its first Board of Directors. Over the years we have been supportive, both with volunteers and with funding from the Outreach Committee.

The managers would live on premise and would be salaried. (There is also an option for an applicant willing to work hourly.)

Former manager Judy McKearney asks for our help in finding the new managers and explains that they are seeking a special couple who is looking for a change as well as a way to give back while receiving even more. She comments that “As a former administrator of “63”, I can tell you that it can be a life changing experience.” For more information call Judy at 594-9055.
