A friendly, locally-run social respite program for older adults with memory loss or physical frailties and their caregivers in Pierce County, Wisconsin
Winter is a great time to escape Wisconsin snow and cold for some of our volunteers. But that means Among Friends is a little shorthanded during the winter months. If you are looking for an opportunity to do some good while having fun, we might be the right fit for you.
“What can I do?” you might be asking.
You know those travel slides, photos, and books you have tucked away? How about bringing them to Among Friends and sharing them? Our participants love to hear about and see images of places near and far.Are you a cribbage player? We can use you!
Are you a musician looking for an audience? Well, we have an enthusiastic group who appreciate good music–or whatever level of musical achievement you are willing to share.
How about another passion you would like to share–art projects, crafts, games? We have a group willing to give it a go.
We can always use people to welcome participants and their caregivers as they arrive, to help with lunch, or simply to chat with our participants during activities. If you would like to volunteer, contact Norma at 715-293-2561.
