Help Us Nurture Salome’s Legacy
Salome’s Heart Appeal
Planting Seeds of Hope
Salome Reymann shared her garden’s tasty vegetables and beautiful flowers with family, neighbors and even strangers who were hungry. Her love and generosity was an example to us all and inspires our annual Salome’s Heart Appeal.
There was something special about taking a bite out of the tomatoes, peppers and corn that grew in our grandmother (and great-grandmother and great-great grandmother) Salome’s garden. Maybe it’s just our sentimental imagination, knowing that it was our sweet and generous Salome who planted, nurtured, picked and shared this bounty with her family, neighbors and even strangers who were hungry and needed food and nurturing.
Salome’s Love Was Bigger Than Just the Garden
Salome Reymann was known for nurturing, and pouring her heart into her family, her community and her garden. Under her care, her children flourished, the neighborhood grew and her flowers burst with colorful blooms.
Salome passed away in 1969. After 55 years, not a day goes by without our Foundation remembering Salome Reymann – who along with her husband Charles – are the namesakes and inspiration for our mission. The memory of Salome and her garden continues to inspire the Foundation to serve people with developmental disabilities, their families and caregivers, and the dedicated people who educate and support them.
