A Legacy of Care: The Little Sisters of the Poor The Little Sisters of the Poor have been caring for elderly men and women in need since 1839. Founded by Saint Jeanne Jugan in France, their mission has always been about more than just providing shelter—it’s about offering dignity, comfort, and love in every stage of aging. It all began when Jeanne welcomed an elderly blind woman with nowhere else to go into her own home. That simple act of compassion sparked a global mission that now spans over 30 countries, including communities across the U.S., where the Sisters have been a vital presence for more than 150 years.
More Than Shelter: A Life of Dignity, Surrounded by Love The Little Sisters create warm, supportive homes where seniors receive not just physical care, but emotional and spiritual support too. They live by a simple philosophy: treat each resident like family—respected, valued, and cared for in their final years. But none of it happens without help. The Sisters rely entirely on the generosity of donors and volunteers. That support doesn’t just keep their homes running—it builds a network of compassion that strengthens the whole community. By caring for the most vulnerable, the Little Sisters foster a culture of kindness that reaches far beyond their doors.
Sustaining a Mission That Lifts Entire Communities The Little Sisters of the Poor rely on partners who understand the importance of showing up—not just once, but consistently. Nathel & Nathel is proud to support their mission with regular deliveries of fresh, high-quality produce, helping to ensure residents receive nourishing meals each day. It’s one way to stand beside an organization that leads with heart and serves with humility. That support helps the Sisters focus on what they do best: creating a home where every person is treated with dignity and love.
