As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Pleasant Day Medical Adult Day Care relies heavily on donations and grants provided by the community. Your donations provide supplies, presents and funding for holiday activities, trips, and even days of attendance for United States Veterans. Our programs make it easy for you to help, and your donations are completely tax deductible.
For the 2023 holiday season, Pleasant Day Medical Adult Day Care will continue with the Pleasant Holidays Fundraiser for Pleasant Day participants. To avoid unnecessary super-spreader events, Pleasant Day will not be having the traditional Festival of Wreaths but will be seeking donations online and by mail to purchase gifts for our participants. These gifts include needed clothing, living supplies, necessary items during the winter season, also included are home made holiday dinners for the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years holidays. As always, these meals will be prepared by Tolley’s Catering. Click Here to be directed to our donation page.
Since 2000, Pleasant Day has held the annual Festival of Wreaths – a four week fundraiser celebrating the talents of local wreath makers. Over 70+ wreaths adorn the halls of Pleasant Day for a silent auction that culminates in the Holiday Benefit Gala held the first Thursday of December. At the Gala, enjoy food and drink while casting your vote for the People’s Choice Award. Local artists play music and sing for guests until the live auction officiated by Buddy Foxwell begins. Bid on items donated by businesses around the area, all to benefit Pleasant Day participants to give them a brighter, better holiday. You can see past entries and current events at the Festival of Wreaths Facebook Page.
Pleasant Day Medical Adult Day Care contracts with the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) to provide medical services to Veterans. Current regulations only pay for two days a week of attendance for Veterans through the VA. The One Vet One Day Program was founded to raise money for additional days for Pleasant Day Veterans. Hundreds of additional days of attendance has been raised for these participants since the program’s inception in 2016. These men and women have received valuable socialization, medical supervision, meals, and transportation while having attended Pleasant Day. With a donation of $75, you can give one vet an additional day of attendance. If you would like to donate to the OVOD Program, Click Here to be taken to the donation page.
A resident of Cambridge, MD, the late George Adams was an engineer, fine arts conservator, and photographer. His large-format prints of the marshlands around Dorchester County reveal his sensitivity to light, particularly the “grey days, soft lights and limited palettes” that he felt “often reveal more than vivid sunsets.” Prints were donated to Pleasant Day for the One Vet One Day program. These beautiful prints can be seen in a gallery room at Pleasant Day. If you would like to purchase a print, please stop by Pleasant Day between 8AM-4PM, Monday through Friday. The donation of $75 for each print gives a veteran one additional day of attendance.
Pleasant Day accepts a wide variety of donations, including packages of unopened toiletries and incontinent supplies, wheel chairs and walking aids (canes, walkers, rollators), office equipment, stationary and art supplies, and antiques/knick-knacks for bingo prizes.

Sometimes the most valuable donation is your time. From guest speakers and gardeners to aides during field trips, volunteers make up a large number of activities at Pleasant Day. The center is always seeking caring community members to help make our participants’ days a little more pleasant.
