FriendshipWorks returns for its Seventh Annual Walk to End Elder Isolation! With your help, we can raise awareness of the power of friendship and most importantly, raise critical funds to support FriendshipWorks! Usually, FriendshipWorks programs provide face-to-face interactions between volunteers and elders. Given the current situation, FriendshipWorks has adapted its programs accordingly: elders are receiving phone calls; MusicWorks has dispersed bilingual CDs; PetPals produced a video, Staying Pawsitive; and cards are being distributed to elders. Your support is needed now more than ever to support these new program initiatives. As you may know, I have been a volunteer for over 20 years and am well invested in their mission. I participate for my friends who I miss dearly; Norma, Evelyn, Mary, and Patricia (photo below). I have so many lovely memories with my time spent with FriendshipWorks and I know you will support me in reaching my goal!! As folks are realizing how difficult social isolation is with the pandemic our elders have unfortunately been dealing with it for many years. Please help us help them in supporting the walk. Can I count on you again this year a donation? If not, I completely understand in these trying times. Thanks for your consideration. Stay safe and well, Connie
