OCTOBER 2 MEDIA RELEASE__Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio will host their 4th Annual Gala on October 9, 2025.  This year’s theme will be “Aloha Nights” and guests will be invited to wear their favorite Hawaiian attire. MHCO's Gala is a fundraising event to benefit the Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio Benevolent Care Fund, which provides support to care for older adults who have outlived their resources.  We would also like to thank our Gold Sponsors–Citrin Cooperman, Hometown Pharmacy and the Water Equipment Company–for their ongoing generous support.  

This event will take place at Ebenezer Mennonite Church at 8905 Columbus Grove-Bluffton Road, Bluffton at 6pm.  Guests will be treated to a Hawaiian-style meal with huli chicken, kalua pork, coconut rice and pineapple fried rice, honey glazed sweet potatoes, zucchini noodles and cheesecake.  The meal will be catered by AJ’s Catering.  Entertainment during the dinner event includes a treasure chest, a silent and live auction.

If you are interested in attending this event, you can purchase tickets now for the dinner, at the front desk of each MHCO campus through Thursday October 9 or at the event. MHCO would like to thank the Bluffton, Pandora and surrounding communities for their continued support and generosity over our 70 years of service. MHCO’s Mission Statement is, “We are dedicated to being a Christ-centered community that promotes personal decision making and purposeful living for each older adult served.”
