Your giving has the power to transform lives!
The Sheltering Arms Foundation team of volunteers and professionals fuels the missions of Sheltering Arms Institute; a collaboration with VCU Health as well as the Fitness, Wellness and Recreation programs known as Partners for L.I.F.E.
Since our humble beginnings in 1889, generous donors have been the lifeblood of Sheltering Arms and have enabled central Virginia to become a nationally recognized destination for advanced physical rehabilitation.
The Foundation team will assist you in finding ways that align with your interests and values to fuel this vital, transformational work. Welcome and thank you for your interest.

Club Rec
Community, possibilities, lifelong learning, adaptability, respite care, and fun are all ways to describe Club Rec. Activities range from spirituality group, adaptive fitness and wellness, community outings, coping skills, music therapy and expressive arts programs. Club Rec uses leisure and wellness activities to provide physical, social, emotional, and cognitive opportunities for its members.
Fitness & Wellness
Sheltering Arms is your Partner for LIFE and we believe fitness is for everyone. Exercise Physiologists will partner with you to develop a personalized fitness plan based on a holistic approach to help you continue your recovery. Giving to this fund is an investment in the fitness goals of those in our community regaining their strength and mobility following an injury or illness or diagnoses of Parkinson’s, MS or other life events.
