- groups visit seniors in residential care facilities, offering entertainment and activities

Testimonials
“I enjoyed saying my poem in front of the group of seniors, and playing the piano for them. The residential community was so beautifully decorated and a nice place to visit.” An 8-year-old volunteer.
“Interacting with the Seniors gives me so much joy. I can see the glow of happiness in their eyes as they start talking to me. I see they need somebody to talk with and to listen to their stories. Being here today is very fulfilling.”
“I met some amazing women! This experience is such a blessing! It really is more blessed to give than to receive!”
“Just loving the elders I visited today was a special experience. They shared their concerns and they were so appreciative of hearing about happy family and community activities than the negative news on the TV.”
