Capital Campaign

A Capital Campaign for the New Assisted Living Retirement Residence and amenity spaces for the Complex at the Leamington Mennonite Home

A Home Rooted in Compassion and Community

LMH is entering a meaningful new chapter with the public launch of a capital campaign at the 2026 Annual Meeting (AM) from the supporting church voting membership. This campaign will support the development of a new Assisted Living Retirement Residence and enhanced amenity spaces for the entire complex.
Guided by the mission and commitment to compassionate care, we are moving forward with optimism and a strong reliance on community support to bring this vision to life.

This vision is already taking shape through early support received during the quiet preplanning phase of the campaign in 2025. Leadership gifts, along with community donations, monthly donations, multiyear pledges, security donations of stock, planned estate gifts, in-memory donations, as well as many anonymous donors reflect a shared belief in creating spaces where individuals can live with comfort, purpose, and dignity. We are deeply grateful for this commitment from our incredible community.

Every square tells a story…

Can you help us build the next chapter at LMH?

Thank you to every donor who has chosen to be part of the future of the Leamington Mennonite Home. Whether through a transformational gift, a multi-year pledge, a gift of securities, a monthly contribution or a community donation, every gift is helping move this important project forward.

Every gift matters. Every dollar makes a difference. Reaching our goal will take the support of our entire community, with each person giving at a level that is meaningful and right for them. Together, gifts of all sizes will bring us closer to making this vision a reality and creating a lasting impact for generations to come.

Every Story. Every Gift. Every Square.

Next Phase: We are currently in the design phase of the project, with expected renderings to be showcased early Spring of 2027.

We would like to thank the Building Committee, established in 2023, for their dedicated volunteer work in exploring possible options for a new Assisted Living Retirement Residence and amenity spaces for the entire LMH complex.

The Building Committee has now fulfilled its mandate, with the initial exploration of the project. Some of the committee members have moved into the finance committee and design subgroup.

As we move into the next phase of development, the project will transition from volunteer committee led to a staff led project with our hired partners.

Every Square Tells a Story…

Follow our progress with us. As funds are raised, our quilt logo thermometer will continue to grow — both digitally and in person in our Long-Term Care lobby — representing each step forward in this meaningful campaign and reflecting the eight core values that continue to guide and inspire us.

One story, one square at a time. What square best represents your story?
