Friendship Center, with the help of our fabulous CARE partners, is preparing to distribute its 10th round of Take Care Totes to isolated seniors in Santa Barbara County.
Many of our senior friends are living with a dementia diagnosis and other health conditions and have had little to no contact with the outside world for 12 months. The Take Care Totes, providing healthy snacks and drinks, personal care items, activities, games and more, have become a lifeline for our senior friends as well as their family caregivers.
? How Can I Help? ?
Please consider donating to our May Take Care Totes,
which are Spring themed! See below for a list of suggested donation items as well as a link to donate
monetarily. You can also donate gift cards or coupons for your businesses that will be happily enjoyed by heroic caregivers.
As we expect to deliver 40 Totes in May, we are grateful for donations of 35 ~ 40 pieces of any of the following items or local business gift certificates.
