Mary Berry Charitable Trust makes 1st distribution to TJCMF From Bart Logsdon The T.J. Community Mission Foundation (TJCMF) received the first annual distribution from the Mary Elizabeth Jones Berry Charitable Trust during a special check presentation ceremony on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home in Glasgow. Mrs. Berry, who was a patient at Shanti Niketan Hospice Home prior to her passing, chose to remember the hospice home in her estate plans by naming the TJCMF as a beneficiary of her charitable trust. The trust will provide annual distributions in support of the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home for the next 50 years, helping sustain the compassionate, residential hospice care the facility has become known for throughout southcentral Kentucky. At the conclusion of the 50-year term, the remaining balance of the trust will be liquidated and distributed evenly among named beneficiaries. Mrs. Berry's extraordinary generosity played a pivotal role in the Foundation's recent announcement that the fundraising campaign to retire the construction loan for the hospice home had been successfully completed. The gift represents the largest planned gift in the Foundation's history. "Because Mrs. Berry personally experienced the compassionate care provided at Shanti Niketan Hospice Home, her decision to include the hospice home in her estate plans carries an especially meaningful legacy," said Randy Burns, Executive Director of the T.J. Community Mission Foundation. "Through her generosity, she has helped ensure that future patients and families will continue to receive the compassionate, dignified care that has become the hallmark of the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home."
