_ The 2021 Little Sisters of the Poor Nun Run 5K:
Nun Run 2021 is on!
As our family at Little Sisters of the Poor slowly emerge from our COVID-19 lockdown at Jeanne Jugan Residence, we have decided to continue with plans for our annual Nun Run 5k Run/Walk scheduled for September 11th, but with certain restrictions to be compliant with CDC guidelines and for the safety of everyone involved. Registration for the race will be limited to the first 200 entrants to ensure proper social distancing and there will be no day of registration.
We will provide more details here as the event nears, including map, directions, parking, etc. This includes guidelines on use of masks while not running/walking and our social distancing plans.

ABOUT JEANNE JUGAN RESIDENCE
Little Sisters of the Poor
Caring for the Elderly throughout the world.
As Little Sisters of the Poor, we care for the elderly poor in the spirit of humble service that we have received from Jeanne Jugan. We welcome the elderly as we would Jesus Christ himself and serve them with love and respect until death. To learn more about the Congregation of the Little Sisters of the Poor please visit www.LittleSistersofthePoor.org
Since 1903 the Little Sisters of the Poor have cared for the aged poor in Delaware. read more...
Because of the generosity of our benefactors, thousands of needy aged persons have received quality care in a loving home-like atmosphere, where they can feel themselves esteemed and respected for the contributions that they have made to society. Indeed, today a number of our Residents are persons who were once in a position to help provide for the needs of others. Now, due to changes in our economy and in their personal situations, they find themselves dependent on the kindness of others.
As we strive to provide a comfortable home for the elderly with limited resources, the Little Sisters of the Poor are truly grateful to all who partner with them in creative ways to meet the needs of the elderly.
